Several of these arrive in excellent form but we fancy the unbeaten CLOWANCE ESTATE to take the step up in class in his stride after beating a previous winner on his reappearance at Sandown. Jupiter Storm is two from two this term after winning by eight lengths over course and distance at the start of the month but he's 14lb higher in the weights now while Haylaman has a penalty after gaining a deserved success at Pontefract. Vasily had Parlour Games and Rawaki behind when fifth at Newmarket last time and has won here in the past. He may be best of the rest as Voodoo Prince was well weighted when winning at Ripon in April and has been well beaten since.
