Another tricky puzzle to solve but VOSNE ROMANEE stayed on ahead of stablemate and subsequent winner Mcgroarty at Ayr two runs ago and is 2lb better off. He wasn’t disgraced behind Altior last time and the likely strong pace will suit. Whatduhavtoget is a dual winner here but probably has a bit to find on the form book but Solar Impulse looks to be back to his best and is still well treated. Double W's is another who has rediscovered his form and he won a shade cosily at Perth while Storm Control pulled well clear at Huntingdon on only his second run over fences, though has a lot more on his plate here and can’t be guaranteed an easy lead.
