LIVING IT LARGE scored for the first time in over eighteen months when making a winning debut for Ed de Giles at Windsor, making all and sticking on well. He is up 5lb for that effort but will go close if replicating that level here. His make-all tactics will be suited to this track. Bronze Beau is another that will seek to be prominent throughout and it could be an interesting battle for the lead, but Lynda Stubbs gelding is not always the strongest of finishers although clearly a threat. Ryan Style has claims on the best of his rather inconsistent form, Clear Praise looks better suited by a sixth furlong, Spanish Acclaim is out of form whilst Boogie Waltzer and Desert Strike are finding it hard to make the winner's circle.
