Luca Cumani's Queen's Envoy has not lived up to her pedigree yet and looks best left out of calculations, while Gary Moore's Timeteam has been running well in sellers but has more to do back in a handicap today and may have to settle for minor honours. Lady Florence was good value for her win over course and distance 15 days ago, her second victory over the trip here this month, but she has gone up 7lb in the weights for that recent victory and may struggle to win again. Jamie Poulton's Highland Harvest has been given a chance by the handicapper and is another to consider but a better bet looks to be BUXTON, who gets the vote. Roger Ingram's gelding has done little wrong of late with placed efforts at Sandown and Wolverhampton in his last two outings and he can gain a deserved success.
