Lord Raglan kept on well when successful at Nottingham on his reappearance in April and ran well on a return visit to Colwick Park on his only subsequent start last month so has to be considered off just a 1lb higher mark today but preference is for SO BAZAAR, who gets the vote ahead of Aktia. Luca Cumani's filly showed improvement with each start as a juvenile and has every chance on her first outing at the age of three off a mark of just 67 for her in-form stable. Richard Fahey's Baraconti has a similarly low mark for his first run in the grade but needs to improve on his reappearance run to take a hand in the finish. Roger Charlton's Home Advantage put up a good performance when successful at Bath last month and has claims off just a 4lb higher mark today. Richard Hannon's Sheila Toss is hard to recommend on all known form and a better bet looks to be Alan Swinbank's So Bazaar, who has been running well in lower grade races of late and looks worth chancing back in a handicap.
