Verdict
This won't take much winning and it is LADY BOUQUET who is fancied to come out on top. The daughter of Land Force kept on well without ever really troubling the leaders over 5f here three weeks ago so it's quite possible the return to six can allow her to find that bit extra. Full Gas should be happier back sprinting and it's worth giving a second thought to Ideal Guest, who was far from disgraced when attempting to make all over C&D recently.
Expert View Verdict
Ideal Guest remains a capable performer at the age of seven, but this might be best left to one of the 3yos, with GREAT SUCCESS appealing most having shaped with more promise at Carlisle last time. He's actually been eased 2lb and looks primsed to produce a career best. Full Gas and Superstorm have both shown enough to win a race of this nature.
