Verdict
Lindoro has claims off his current mark and Vitznau looks to have finally slipped far enough down the weights to take advantage judged on his latest third over a mile here. Divine Rule has been in better form of late but is hard to win with and MATAAJIR is preferred. The latter went very close when runner-up over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton last week and the return to 7f can see Derek Shaw's charge go one better. Littlecote Lady and Do More Business could also make the frame.
