Osteopathic Remedy won this in 2011 and again last year. Michael Dods' veteran will like the conditions and is back on exactly the same mark as a year ago. The Durham trainer has several other entries this time around and Finn Class is in such good form that he could prove best of them. King Torus hasn't won since last summer but is lower in the weights now though Zacynthus may prove best of David O'Meara's multiple entries as he'll love the conditions better than most and could have found the going a bit quick at Wetherby last time. SAIGON CITY hasn't won since completing a double in 2013 but he's been running well on ground faster than he would have liked including when runner-up in a better class handicap at Salisbury last time. Luca Cumani's charge looks the one to be on.
