Mr Sundowner won this series final in 2017 but was well beaten in last year’s renewal and has finished behind Gylo the last twice. David O’Meara’s progressive charge is upped in class bidding for a four-timer but has already beaten the likes of Jan De Heem, Dew Pond, Straitouttacompton and Flower Power. Stablemate Ingleby Hollow has been hurdling but looks high enough in the weights back on the Flat while Bollin Joan was beaten at Ayr earlier in the week. Fantastic Ms Fox found EURO IMPLOSION too good over track and trip last month. The latter’s winning run came to an end over 2m at Musselburgh a week ago but Keith Dagleish’s charge gets another chance back over 1m4f today.
