Sir Oliver won over 7f here recently but is upped in class while Pocket The Profit ran well at Epsom last time though remains 7lb higher than his earlier success. The consistent Aphelios will likely be thereabouts once again and Spirited Guest hinted at a return to form at Ascot on his latest start but a chance is taken on FIRST FOLIO. The latter has been competing in tougher races than this so far this year and could make a bold bid if the ground dries out any further with an apprentice’s allowance also helping his cause.
