The ground will suit both West End Lad and Kavachi but neither have been in the best of form so far this year. Labore could do better dropped back in distance and makes more appeal than fellow three-year-olds Falmouth Bay and Muhandis but a tricky finale can go the way of VIVA VETTORI. David Elsworth's entire, well handicapped on his best form, proved popular in a more competitive contest at Sandown earlier this month and was beaten less than a length having struggled to get a run inside the final furlong. Off the same mark, losses can be recouped here.
