Lagonda comes out best at the weights though her best effort so far came over fences on her penultimate start. GREAT NAME THAT came up against an impressive winner when second over track and trip last time. He gets another chance in this looking to have stronger form than both Much Too Dear and State Of Fame. State Of Power is fitted with a tongue-tie and it’s too soon to write him off while Not Long Left and Shot Tower are open to improvement.
