Verdict
REGAL ENVOY won a strong renewal of this race 12 months ago and arrives in good enough form to stage a repeat off 3lb lower. The consistent seven-year-old made all at Bath last time and could again be hard to reel in. Adrestia, Democracy Dilemma and All Ways Glamorous are all strong contenders to keep an eye on in the betting, while Gaeli's Italian form has a solid appearance and he is an intriguing option reverting to turf on just his third start for the Marco Botti's yard.
Expert View Verdict
Last year's winner Regal Envoy returned to his best when making all at Bath last time and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold effort but it's REDORANGE who appeals more. The selection didn't get the best of runs in an ultra-competitive handicap at York the other day and has a bigger effort in him yet. Rhythm N Hooves is a solid sort who should again go well for his in-form yard.
