Verdict
Do More Business has only found one too good in his last two visits to this track and should be in the firing-line again, but BEST ONE ran well for a long way on his return to action at Bath and Ron Harris' seven-year-old has enjoyed plenty of success off similar marks in the past. He looks a better bet than Milton Bradley's pair Lithaam and What Katie Did, while Bookiesindex Boy has been below his best this year and Imaginary Diva disappointed at Yarmouth last time. Doctor Hilary was third off a higher mark at Newbury last time but isn't getting any younger.
