Ogbourne Downs is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Bath last month and goes on the short-list here. Tenor has a penalty for last week's victory at Kempton but can also go well and Harry Bosch, Soaring Spirits, After The Goldrush and Unison are all previous course and distance winners. The latter only won by half-a-length three weeks ago but is probably capable of better, unlike St Paul De Vence who continues to disappoint. LAWYER has been quite highly tried this season but hasn't been disgraced. He drops back a furlong from his latest start at Sandown so get the nod.
