Verdict
Tara Mac is 15lb higher than when winning over 2m here at the start of the year having been raised 9lb for making a winning reappearance at Stratford but she's one of a very few arriving in any kind of form. Albatros De Guye won this in 2015 but is still 9lb higher. REMEMBER FOREVER is 14lb higher than when successful over course and distance just under a year ago but has won twice since and was prominent for a long way on his reappearance at Plumpton - he gets a tentative vote.
