George Bowen and My Dream Boat are eased in grade and could play a part. Classic Win is open to plenty of improvement having made a winning start over 6f at Leicester while Musselburgh third Go Dan Go has done well this year, winning at Beverley and the Scottish track. Bold won at Kempton in April but was outclassed next time at Ascot. After a sighter at Newbury, GRAND INQUISITOR (NAP) bolted up over 1m at Nottingham. This is s stiff course so the drop back to 7f shouldn't be a problem and he has the potential to go on to better things. Flash Fire is only 3lb higher than when winning over this trip at Catterick in September and shouldn't be ignored.
