Sir Reginald is 3lb higher than when winning this last year with Yeeoow and Shropshire behind. The latter may well reverse running on only his second start of the season while Alejandro used up plenty of energy to get to the front from a wide draw at Chester last time and should do better back over this shorter trip. Poole Harbour has a shout on the best of last season's form and Badr Al Badoor went close over 7f here last month. But DANZENO is the least exposed having won a Group 3 at Newcastle in June and Mike Appleby's three-year-old is fancied to get the better of the older sprinters once again in this.
