Second Collection is interesting in this off bottom weight with Hollie Doyle doing the steering while Amplify won three times last year, including once over course and distance, and he got upset at the start ahead of his reappearance over 6f here last month so that run can be ignored. Konchek ran in the Commonwealth Cup last summer and continues to edge towards a decent mark but it would be no surprise to see BLUE DE VEGA finally end his long losing run after a fine third in a big field at Haydock where he was well ahead of the re-opposing Tropics. Spoof looks best of the rest but is another who struggles to get his head in front.
