Verdict
Guards Chapel scored over 2m here last time beating Takeitfromalady by nearly three lengths. But the former looks likely to find today's trip short enough and a speculative vote goes the way of TOP SET. The latter has been doing his best work in the closing stages over 1m2f of late including when second here on his latest start and this extra distance could bring a big improvement. Qibtee has a shout on his earlier third over track and trip and is preferred to Maison Brillet while Westerly and Glens Wobbly remain out of form.
