As most of the field have form over slightly further it would be no surprise to see the final furlong develop into a rough and tumble affair. Legal Set and Sir Francis are ideally positioned to cut out the early running and should ensure that there is no hanging about. However, both have disappointed on more than one occasion when asked to get involved in a battle and are likely to be swamped by the closing pack close home. Another Glimpse is 2lb better off with Mutawaqed after their meeting here last week and should make a bold bid to reverse the form on the revised terms. The Brooke Sanders-trained five-year-old may be better suited by the trip today and gets the vote for the selection on grounds of value. Pedro Jack and Madrasee have place claims on the pick of their form but are not ones to rely upon too heavily. Gone'N' Dunnett is also not one to rule out despite having a little to prove with regard to his liking for the surface.
