Uncle Dermot won on his favoured soft ground at Nottingham last week but conditions are unlikely to be as testing here. First Experience only found one too good off this mark at Salisbury after winning on Polytrack so enters calculations. Little Lord Nelson was well supported back on Turf at Newmarket but only managed fourth and Double Czech turned in a shocker at Chepstow last time when favourite. LIVE DANGEROUSLY ran three times here last summer, winning once and being placed on the other occasions. Only 3lb higher than when victorious, his yard is in terrific form and a big run is expected.
