There is not much between the leading contenders on today's terms but TENOR has the best recent form. He dotted up by over four lengths at Kempton a fortnight ago and will take the beating with a similar effort. Knavery was a well beaten third at Doncaster on his handicap bow, but in decent company, and he can figure. Both Born To Surprise and Monsieur Chevalier have something to prove over today's longer distance while Act Of Charity finished closer at Newcastle last time and may be best of the rest.
