Bravo Bravo won over track and trip in November and has held his form well since, finishing second over 2m6f at Wincanton three weeks ago. Kempton fourth Bellosguardo has place prospects while Southway Queen was only beaten a short-head at Plumpton last month, though a subsequent 9lb rise in the weights looks harsh. It's more than two years since DECENT LORD was last in the winner's enclosure and he has barely raised a gallop in three runs this season but he has gone close off higher marks than this in the past and will probably be allowed to start at big odds. Given the standard of opposition, he could be worth a final chance to small stakes to prove that all is not yet lost.
