Deutschland, High Seasons and Sky High Guy look the more obvious options and we will side with Deutschland. Michael Jarvis' charge did not get home over 1m4f last week but has shown glimpses of ability in the past and can put that to use in a weak handicap. High Seasons is not the biggest horse in training but has one of the biggest hearts in racing. Rod Millman's runner stayed on from almost last with a couple of furlongs to go at Bath and won the race going away. Sky High Guy is a half-brother to Tamburlaine but has been expensive to follow. Backers will need him to reverse form with High Seasons on their Bath meeting. The well-bred Ogee has been easy to back on all starts thus far and is watched in the market. A trappy affair with plenty to consider and a chance is taken with Deutschland.
