Papa Luigi had been in fine form prior to stepping out of his comfort zone at Newmarket last time but looks on a high mark at present. Sydney Ruffdiamond has been put up 5lb for a recent course and distance win so the vote goes to MAJESTIC HERO, who hasn't done much wrong this year and beat today's rival King Crimson at Newmarket in the spring. Dark Shot is tough and reliable and is probably the danger, though Rosie's Premiere could also run well despite top weight.
