Verdict
Being in such good form, Envision gets the vote here ahead of My Amalie and Abwaab. Taking a drop in class, My Amalie cannot be ruled out of things, while Zato has at least been given a chance now by the handicapper. Envision's winning run may have come to an end but a third in a good Ascot handicap last time shows that he remains in good form. Interestingly maybe, the lightly raced Abwaab is 13 pounds better off with the selection for four lengths based on form from earlier in the year. Tempsford Flyer holds a good chance if replicating winning Turf form, while Fast Bowler is lightly raced and has scope for further improvement, and Persian Express ran well on his Kempton debut last time, although he has been raised two pounds for that. McNairobi ran well from a pound higher mark on Turf last time and, having proven better on the all-weather, has to be considered. Finally, Penfection certainly seemed to be on the up last time, while Grand Jour holds chances on form from early in the year. Overall, though, a tentative vote goes to Envision.
