Easter Ogil has taken on a new leases of life this year, picking up five races along the way. He was sold to present connections for 10,800 guineas after winning a seller over course and distance last week and although he comes into the in excellent heart, he may be one to oppose off an 11lbs higher mark than when last successful in a handicap. Free Option lacks consistency, but is more than capable if things go his way, while Noble Pursuit, who is gradually slipping down the handicap, is worthy of respect and will be more at home on this faster surface having failed to act on the slower Fibresand track last time. However, the vote goes to Voice Mail, who should just about be spot on now after a couple of runs back after a break. Andrew Balding's four-year-old is effective over course and distance, well drawn, and is taken to win a competitive heat.
