Mon Beau Visage has won four times, including at Pontefract last time, though never at this level and he's up 4lb. Dream Of Summer ran poorly on good ground at Lingfield and looks better on the all-weather and FIRE TREE won so convincingly here last month that a 7lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a double for the former Irish-trained four-year-old. Miss Van Gogh is well up to this class and Adam McNamara's claim is a bonus while Magic City is running well and was staying on strongly behind today's rival Zlatan at Nottingham last time. The winner was outclassed in a better race at Newbury next time while though Like No Other is 1-20 he ran his best race for a long time here last month and could snatch a place on that form.
