Danny Tudhope has chosen Bravery over Mon Beau Visage and Steel Train with the four-year-old having won the Lincoln back in April when 5lb higher. Zabeel Prince is two from two this year and easily the least exposed but he steps up a grade and is 10lb higher than when last successful at Yarmouth. Haydock third Just Hiss is preferred to stablemate One Word More, even though the latter was only beaten a neck by Zwayyan at Ascot last week. HIGHLAND COLORI beat Home Cummins here a year ago with Two For Two and One Word More outside of the placings. Andrew Balding's nine-year-old hasn't won since but has dropped 10lb in the ratings as a result and could be the pick of the weights again today.
