It's been 10 years since a favourite last won this and likely market leader Rembrandt Van Rijn is upped a further 6lb as he bids for a four-timer. Mark Johnston trains all three at the top of the weights with Master Of Finance preferred on his latest second at Ascot while Festive Fare drops in class after disappointing in soft ground. Green Light and Silvery Moon have a shout but the latter needs to reverse earlier running with BASATEEN (NAP). Richard Hannon's charge was having his first start of the year when making up late ground over a mile at York last month and there should be more to come from him over today's longer trip.
