Sujet Bellagio has only raced on Polytrack and gained his first victory at Lingfield in January. This is his handicap debut and he looks to have a tough task. Richard Hughes rode a perfect waiting race on Kyleakin Lass at Windsor, getting up close home over the minimum trip. She's been raised 6lb and this is tougher but she should still give a good account. ATHENIAN made all to beat older rivals at Kempton but she has no problems with soft ground as she demonstrated when scoring at Chepstow. There's still more to come from her and she gets the vote though Dutch Heritage looks a major threat as he reappeared after a long break to run very well behind Show Flower at Ayr last month. The progressive Doncaster winner Duke Of Aricabeau looks best of the remainder.
