Ostilio’s return to form at Yarmouth was unexpected and there is no guarantee that the seven-year-old will reproduce that run here and Cold Stare appears to be going backwards, though can’t get much lower in the weights. LORD RAPSCALLION was only beaten a neck in higher grade here 10 days ago. He can race off the same mark and wouldn’t be winning out of turn. Beauty Choice hasn’t been beaten far the last twice but has five lengths to find with Hodler on Sandown running in July. Marlay Park won this last year and is a course specialist with Elsals also worth a second look in a competitive renewal.
