The potential lack of pace in the race shouldn't hinder the chances of the strong-travelling SCINTILLANTE who landed his second C&D success of the season when a cosy winner here earlier this month. He looks the most solid option, while Grey Skies may be the most likely leader dropping back to 2m and looks interesting from his falling handicap mark. Of the rest, Spot on Soph arrives in fine heart and should go well again, while Bannister likes it here and could be a danger if settling.
