Gold = Horse has a 50% or better win record
Verdict
Although ETALON wasn't quite at his best when fourth at Kempton in February, his previous efforts at Ascot suggest that a race of this nature is within his compass. A 1lb ease in the ratings can only help Dan Skelton's charge and he edges the vote over last year's winner Light N Strike. Mickey Bowen's string are starting to fire and a return to form from his veteran wouldn't be a surprise. Western General is also noted.
Expert View Verdict
It could be worth taking a chance with SOMESPRING SPECIAL at the foot of the weights. She has been below par on both of her runs this term but her penultimate outing is working out extremely well and she looks on a good mark based on her autumn form. Hercule Du Seuil is another who has dropped in the weights and now looks dangerously well treated on her Grade 3 winning form. If resuming positive tactics he could be tough to catch so looks a big danger. In form Western General is also given a chance but he has never won off a mark this high.
