Verdict

Horseguardsparade is proving a major disappointment but Babeny Bridge remains unexposed and was only beaten a head at Worcester in May when last seen. Truckers Glory, a winner over 2m4f here in October and later third at Chepstow, was a further 16 lengths away in third that day and looks held. Byron Blue has won over this trip but is very much a fast-ground performer and may find conditions too testing. OBISTAR was second over course and distance on heavy going in March and is only 2lb higher. He hasn't raced since finishing third at Bangor in April but still has plenty in his favour. Kelsey could make the frame if blinkers have the desired effect.
