Verdict
Most of these are old friends, are out of form and have dropped in the weights accordingly. Crossingoz has only won once and that was over the extended 1m2f trip here but Lady Rosebud has won four times on the track and this is her distance. Lappet has more scope than her rivals having only run five times and she has to be considered along with Mulzamm, who won twice on this surface in the UK and has recently changed stables. VOYAGEOFDISCOVERY is 6lb higher than his victory here in November but has continued in good form and wasn't far behind the in-form Gougane Barra a fortnight ago so looks the one to be on.
