Bronze Prince won the first leg of this at Ascot in the style of a rapidly improving type but a high draw here isn't a help and Noble Citizen, who finished third, looks to have a very good chance of reversing the form. Casual Glimpse won a strong handicap here last time with a bit up his sleeve and he has the best of the draw here. He should again take care of fourth-placed Chilworth Lad and looks certain to get involved. Eton Rifles is well drawn and was having only his second run since November when a close fourth to Genki in a Group 3 at Newcastle so he's on the short-list, but a chance is taken on the tough and consistent DOCOFTHEBAY. Dandy Nicholls' charge has been running at this sort of level for most of his career and, with a good draw and an excellent recent run behind him two weeks ago, he can gain his first success since October.
