Lots of pace on which should suit ACE OF SPIES who stays further. Conor Dore's charge should appreciate the return to a soft surface today and although he is 4lbs above his last winning mark he still looks handicapped to win this. Westwood has his own ideas but is a fine front-runner when on song, and along with Captain Royale and Equuleus Pictor looks the pick of the front-runners. Bedloe's Island is consistent but now tries cheek-pieces, and along with Make My Dream, Six Diamonds and the blinkered Spring Green helps make this very competitive. Love You Louis and Grudge rate better than their most recent performances.
