Verdict
Course regular Sir Plato is far better than his last run when last of seven after being sent off favourite but still has plenty on his plate off 10st-4lb. Letter Of The Law looks the likeliest of the John O'Shea pair but GREG THE GREAT is a fellow three-year-old who is going the right way and can land a third success in his last four starts, including one over course and distance. He's been raised 7lb for his latest victory but that rated a best performance to date and he can build further on that progress here. King Of War is the other three-year-old on show and this consistent gelding is one for the shortlist but did finish behind the selection here in May.
