In depth
Verdict
Envision has been in irresistible form and is fancied to land himself a four-timer; Dancing Guest, Li Najma and Sicilian are fancied to pose the most problems along the way. Sicilian has taken time to get the hang of things and will never be a star at Barry Hills' yard. However, he won nicely enough at Windsor in June and is rated as a threat on that form. He is a likely candidate to make the running but, as he faces a stiffer test, he may prove vulnerable to a speedier type. Li Najma is a consistent filly that knows her way around here. Clive Brittain's charge is in great heart and she rates as a fair option for each-way punters to consider - assuming the price is right! Similar comments apply to Dancing Guest, who is unbeaten on this surface in two previous outings and has to be considered as a live danger. However, Richard Hannon has really found the key to Envision these days and, as he is still potentially well treated off a mark of 79, this son of Pivotal is fancied to take the beating in the finale.
