Willheconquertoo hit form here last time and it can pay to follow him, with Wicked Uncle, Bessemer, Holly Springs and Lady Algarhoud others to consider. Willheconquertoo is a very consistent sort whose win of just over a length from the good yardstick Gilded Cove last week has a very solid look to it. A 6lb rise is going to make things much tougher, but he is well drawn and can produce the goods. Bessemer is worth a second look despite being an in and out sort. He is entitled to respect based on his August running here now he runs from 4lb lower. Holly Springs is interesting on her all weather debut for a shrewd yard who can produce big priced winners, so can't be ruled out altogether, while Lady Algarhoud loves this course and distance and is only 2lb higher than he most recent win here, so is respected. Of the others Wicked Uncle has the form at 5f to get involved if stepping up in trip well enough, but there are no doubts about that for Willheconquertoo, who gets our vote.
