Verdict
Hollywoodien is struggling for his best form but is a previous winner here. Dan Skelton has, hopefully, abandoned the experiment of running ALNADAM over longer trips and, only 2lb higher than his last winning mark, the nine-year-old can make the most of guaranteed race-fitness to get the better of Espoir De Guye, who hasn’t raced since second in this race last year when carrying 2lb less.
