VOSNE ROMANEE should take all the beating reverting the Flat. He's been in excellent form over hurdles lately, winning at Chepstow and Perth after finishing second in a decent handicap at Cheltenham, and looks well treated. Dizzey Heights made a respectable reappearance when second at Bath and Yul Finegold made all here three weeks ago, though is unlikely to be given as much rope today. Bohemian Rhapsody is capable if in the mood but Rose Above's bubble was burst at Kempton. Zenafire has more to do than when winning over further at Redcar.
