Key Look and Pallas Lord arrive on the back of course and distance wins with the former preferred in this grade. Eyes has been thereabouts at Kempton recently but VIVA VOCE also arrives in fine form. He missed out on a hat-trick when third at Southwell but a return to hold-up tactics from today’s high draw will suit. Engles Rock and Cathayensis drop down in distance while Purple Power makes more appeal than Clear Angel over today’s trip.
