Lancaster Lad showed a good attitude to win last time and needs respect however Lord Deevert is taken to complete the hat-trick with Benedetto rated as a danger. Bill Turner's three-year-old has been taking his racing well this season and is yet to run a really bad race. He has won his last two starts, and whilst those wins were over six furlongs, he stays this trip well and should run a big race. Lancaster Lad drifted in the betting prior to his recent win at Salisbury but he is evidently in fine form and must not be taken lightly, Complete Frontline has claims based on his recent Carlisle third, whilst Benedetto wasn't beaten far in a more competitive race at Lingfield on Wednesday. El Fuser is very consistent, whilst Asian Lady looks to be on a good mark if the first-time visor has a positive effect. At a price Bold Diva could hit the frame, however for the winner we will return to Lord Deevert.
