Mister Completely has been running really well of late and he can land the finale over Screenplay and Right Option. The selection is a 6-year-old but he seems to have found a bit of improvement recently and he put in another solid effort at Warwick last time when third behind Princess Kiotto. A reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Screenplay was well beaten in a competitive handicap at Goodwood last time. He is dropped in trip today which should suit but he hasn't won for nearly two years and he is hard to recommend with too much confidence. Right Option proved he can stay this far last time when second behind Franchoek at Chepstow and he is certainly worth another try over the distance today. Follow On ran promisingly last time and looks the pick of the remainder, but Mister Completely has found a bit of form of late and he can run another big race.
