Verdict

Malibu Sun got no further than the first at Ascot when bidding for a hat-trick and still has to prove he can cope with an 11lb rise for an earlier victory at Leicester. Un Anjou has been raised only 4lb after landing a recent double but steps up in class, along with course and distance winner Chance Encounter. Quick Decisson and Upepito are not out of this either so only a speculative vote goes to UT MAJEUR AULMES, third at Newbury last time and dropping down a grade for this.
