Most of these can be given a chance though recent Leicester winner Valley of Rocks is upped in class and so is Lord Reason, successful at Epsom last time. Mon Beau Visage went close at the track last time and Make On Madam found only Talent Scout too good here recently. Pumaflor is not out of this either and Worlds His Oyster slips further down the weights but a speculative vote goes to BIG TIME DANCER. He’ll be sharper for a recent comeback and ended last year with a double for Brian Ellison including a course and distance success.
