No Speed Limit won this back in 2021 and looked on the way back to form over the minimum last week. Empress Of Bough gained a shock victory over Lockdown a month ago but the runner-up has slightly the better of the weights and can reverse the form. HERO OF THE HOUR, who was a close fourth after missing the break, has since run another very good race here and is 2lb lower than when last successful here in March so looks the one to beat. Havana Notion has never won here in ten starts but went close over the minimum last time.
