Verdict
Another wide open contest in which jockeyship will be all important. Guilded Flyer has been in top form of late and despite creeping up the weights he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Major Attraction was behind Summer Cherry last time but he should reverse the placing on these revised terms. Red Lion won a similar event to this at Epsom so should act on the track but he had the run of the race there and this looks more competitive. Fool On The Hill would be one to consider if the rain came.
