DAVID’S BEAUTY loves the undulations here and is seeking a fifth course victory. Though she’s harshly been raised a further pound since her fourth at Hamilton, she’s still fairly treated on her best form and this is her level. Sir Gordon is still a maiden but could be interesting dropping back to the minimum while Valentino Sunrise looked to be running into form at Windsor. Cool Strutter is in good form and only 3lb higher than when successful over course and distance last month but Jaganory looks out of sorts. The going would be a concern for supporters of Lady Florence.
