This is no better than the previous division. Greek Islands won a seller here in January but is unproven over this longer trip. MY RENAISSANCE ran poorly over 1m3f last time but won over today's distance at Kempton last month. Richard Hughes presence suggests a return to form is expected and he gets the vote. Abigails Angel finished well ahead of old Scamperdale when third here in March and has a shout but Claude Monet and Glentenn have so far shown their best over shorter distances.
