Verdict

Recent Wetherby winner Lap Of Honour and the mare Dorabelle are upped in class today, while Tri Nations has struggled since winning at Plumpton in April. Hunting Tower seems better over a longer trip nowadays and Caravel has plenty to find on recent running with HUNTERVIEW. David Pipe's charge has won in this grade before, wasn't disgraced when third in a Grade 3 contest at Haydock last month and makes much more appeal than stablemate Raslan. A return to winning ways looks on the cards here.
