Luna Magic and Brodie Hampson finished runners-up in last year’s renewal off a 5lb lower mark but the winner was trained by Tony Carroll and ridden by Sarah Bowen and they team-up again with BEAU GESTE. The latter has won three of only five starts for current connections and there looks more to come from him this year. Voltaic’s earlier success at Windsor came over 6f while Roller and In The Red have both won at Kempton this summer but neither have scored on Turf for sometime now.
