Even Bolder has been knocking on the door lately and is fancied to reverse last month's Newbury running with Rebecca Romero. He could have the race run to suit if old-timer Cape Royal sets a scorching pace as expected. The latter's stablemate, Triple Dream, can go close despite top weight while Imaginary Diva usually runs well here and comes here off the back of a win at Brighton. But we are going to take a chance on the lightly-raced CREW CUT, who is back over this trip for the first time since chasing home Eland Ally at Doncaster in June and hails from a yard enjoying a bit of a purple patch at present.
