Laser Show returns to action penalised for winning at Sandown in July when beating a John Gosden-trained subsequent winner. But the latter runs BOOK REVIEW in this and he looks to have leading claims having caught the eye staying on strongly for second at Nottingham on his debut earlier this month. He’s preferred to stablemate and newcomer Pyramid Place while Lord Neidin and Lady Magda have both placed over track and trip and Hukum and Aljalela may well improve for this extra distance. Stagiaire and Rodrigo Diaz are other newcomers to note.
