Looks The Business may have plenty of weight to carry but can race off the same mark as when a highly creditable second to High Treason at Newbury last time and he looks worth backing to go one better on a more suitable surface with the main dangers looking to be String Serenade and Granary Girl. The last mentioned looks to be going the right way judged by her latest effort at Wolverhampton but it remains to be seen whether she can be as effective back on turf so she may be best watched. Willie Musson's Darghan has been running consistently well and is entitled to be thereabouts, while Three Ships has more to do than when successful at Southwell last time. Redcar claiming winner True may struggle back in this grade now and of more interest may be String Serenade, who remains feasibly well treated. Looks The Business has solid claims though and he gets the vote.
