Verdict
La Sylphide should make a bold bid to complete a hat-trick of wins, and Hoh's Back is also expected to run a big race, but Bond Millennium is on a handy mark and is our selection to prevail in the feature race of the day. Bond Millennium rarely runs a bad race and goes well for today's pilot Robert Winston, and with the Brian Smart yard also in decent form the selection should take all the beating. La Sylphide is another consistent sort who has won over course and distance and is certainly respected, but this is more difficult than the race he won here last month. Hoh's Back is in good form and has the capable apprentice Lisa Jones in the plate so should run well, but we're happy to side with Bond Millennium who is a confident selection to get back to winning ways.
