DUTCH LAW had given the impression that a victory was imminent here and at Ascot so it was no surprise when he returned to this track and trip and scored last month. This is a slightly higher class event but he's only been raised 2lb so is taken to follow up. The veteran Scottish Glen completed a hat-trick last summer and is back in top form. He wasn't far behind the selection here in June then produced a superb run in a heritage handicap at Ascot won by Librisa Breeze and a similar level of form would see him difficult to beat. Ifwecan was a close fourth in that handicap on this track in June so should be in the shake-up and Outer Space is just 3lb higher than his victory at Sandown. Tanzeel is back on the same mark as when landing the Sky Bet Dash at York a year ago so is definitely one to note.
