Verdict

It's a tough task trying to unravel the form of these progressive three-year-olds and the favourite has been beaten in the previous four runnings. Seelo looks the likely favourite for this year's renewal but will need to improve stepping up in trip off an 8lb higher mark, while the handicapper was so impressed with Good Boy Jackson's recent win over 1m2f here that he's raised him 14lb. Pintrada takes a big step up in class in a bid for her hat-trick, but Reflect and Sergeant Ablett have the past form to figure. Gosbeck won at Newbury and has scope for improvement on his handicap bow but so does HIGHLAND CASTLE, who beat a subsequent winner at Windsor last time and gets a tentative vote in an intriguing opener.
