County Hotel drops into this grade for the first time and has shown signs of ability, while the three-year-olds Dew Reward and Urban Kode have both won in this grade recently. The latter looks to have the stronger form and had Enriching behind at Warwick so should go close again but it's interesting to see Jonny Portman has booked Kieren Fallon for his gelding MEGLIO ANCORA. This is the weakest race he has contested on the Flat or over hurdles and he can score for the first time since his debut more than two years ago.
