Theflyingportrait could hardly be in better form but is climbing the weights, though still has the beating of Seven Devils on Perth running last month. Oscatara finished seven lengths ahead of Enjoy Responsibly at Uttoxeter earlier this month and can confirm that form but we'll take a chance on PRESENTING LISA, who should make a chaser having already won between the flags and has been given plenty of time to recover having been pulled up at Warwick in May. Owen Na View is useful on his day but hard to predict.
