Bel Cantor is taken to get the better of Shifty and Preskani in the finale. Shifty likes this track, and bounced back to form with a good win here last time after some disappointing efforts on Turf. He is six pounds higher though here and may struggle to defy top weight. Preskani has been running consistently here recently and won a small race last time. This looks more competitive and off a seven pound higher mark he is taken on. Bel Cantor is chasing a hat trick after two wins at Nottingham and races off a three pound lower mark here. He has run well here before and Bel Cantor can score again.
