BONNE QUESTION should finally get his head in front as his conqueror last time at Sedgefield, Red Tornado, has won since and nothing in this race has the form to match. Winning Ticket has shown promise in both starts over timber and can make the frame but Falcon's Reign was beaten a long way when third at Wetherby. That Man Of Mine also has plenty of improving to do while Flat winner Sophisticated Heir may have stamina issues.
