Crystal Lake's winning run came to an end when only third at Newmarket last time. Something went amiss with Zerfaal in the same race but he'd looked progressive before that winning a handicap over track and trip. Voyageofdiscovery faces a tougher task having won at Warwick while Donny Rover steps back down in trip after going close over 1m2f at York. Sea Defence has been off the track since May and attempts a longer tip for the first time but the equally unexposed BAAREZ has a more recent run under his belt and Roger Varian's colt gets the nod to come out best in this.
