Case Key won this in both 2017 and 2019 and has every chance again having returned an easy winner at Nottingham last time. But last year’s winner MY STYLE is also back for more and he gets the vote having slipped down the weights to finish fourth behind Devil's Angel here last month. The latter should go well again raised only 3lb and Mitrosonfire is another to consider fresh from last weekend’s victory in the Shergar Cup sprint at Ascot. Cahors is creeping closer while Brian The Snail is preferred to stablemate George Bowen.
