Something was clearly amiss with Lordsbridge Boy at Newbury in July and he’s been given time off since. Glamorous Crescent has found some form lately while Dana Forever won on soft going at Thirsk in August. Coco Bear shouldn’t be far away if reproducing recent form but the in-form DEPUTY (NAP) should have the speed to handle this drop back in distance and looks the one to beat.
