Verdict
Lost The Plot has been a model of consistency in similar grade of late and is the TEAMtalk selection to complete a hat-trick. The David Arbuthnot-trained mare has taken full advantage of a lenient mark to score over the course and distance as well as at Fontwell last time and may be able to defy a further 6lb rise. Duchamp has not been seen since his fall seven months ago in the Kim Muir and he is best watched on his comeback. Ernest William also has something to prove having been pulled up on his latest start four months ago while Snowmore faces a steep rise in class following his winning effort over C&D last time.
