Verdict
There'll be plenty of pace on here as veteran Cape Royal and Incomparable both like to blaze a trail. That could suit Brighton runner-up Bouncy Bouncy though Michael Bell's filly has been done no favours by the draw. Griffin Point has already won over this trip at Chepstow and Wolverhampton this year, while My Meteor is holding his form well though has a bit to find with Ginzan on their run together over 6f at Bath last month. Rainy Night could run into a place, despite top weight, but DIVERTIMENTI gets the nod. Roy Bowring's charge has never finished out of the first two in three runs at the track and clearly found 7f too far at Leicester earlier this month having won nicely over 6f at Warwick earlier.
