Duke Of Firenze's stable was out of form when he finished tailed off over a mile here on his reappearance and he's back over his winning trip today. Charles Hills' yard is going well and Sir Pedro was an impressive winner on his debut at Doncaster last month. The second has franked the form since and, with plenty of scope for improvement, the top weight has to go on the short-list here. Bella Ophelia was only beaten half-a-length Newmarket earlier this month and Fast Finian scrambled home at Kempton 12 days ago, though is likely to find this a more testing task. Royal Reyah isn't without a chance but WISE VENTURE will have needed his run at Haydock and takes a steep drop in grade in this - he could be the one to beat.
