Five-year-olds have won both previous runnings of this handicap but Zero Money will need to show a big improvement for the fitting of first-time blinkers if he is to keep up that trend. Advanced continues to struggle against the handicapper, while No Hubris is creeping up the weights again despite not winning. Webbow was put up 4lb after finishing a close second to Smarty Socks over C&D last month so we'll keep faith with the wonderfully consistent DUBAI DYNAMO. Never out of the first two in his last six starts, he only went down by half-a-length off this mark at Newcastle six days ago and deserves another success. Catterick winner Flowing Cape is only 3lb higher here and is another to consider along with possible improved Saint Pierre, but Reel Buddy Star finished well behind the selection at Ripon in May.
