Recent Epsom winner Sweet Reward is seeking a third victory around here but was only fifth in this last year racing off a similar mark. Silastar was a well-backed winner over track and trip in May with a subsequent defeat coming on the Polytrack. Croeso Cymraeg has been racing over further but is effective over this trip and Prophet's Dream won at Bath and Leicester in the spring. BOTAS, a fast-finishing second at Ascot latest, won over 1m1f in France so there is no reason why he won’t last home here, especially if the ground eases. Paris Lights, Solanna and Tuxedo Junction, who wears cheekpieces today, also have claims.
