Like one or 2 alternative of the staying handicaps, predominantly National Hunt trainers have enjoyed their justifiable share of success during this contest with 5 winners having won over hurdles and Ile De Re has been well supported to create it six.

He's arguably open to any progress when only one begin for his current connections however carrying over 9 stone from a mark as high as his (101) has proved difficult whereas no recent scorer has taken this on their seasonal reappearance as Motivado is making an attempt to try and do.

Two recent scorers have return from the Ascot Stakes thus Gulf Of Naples' outing at the Royal Meeting cannot be held against him however he is another that appears too high within the weights.

Palazzo Bianco features a affordable profile though he lacks expertise and preference is for Lexington Bay.

He's drawn high however that hasn't proved as massive a negative in recent years and it is simple to forgive his run within the Queen Mother's Cup over what seems to currently be an inadequate twelve furlongs; the son of High Chaparral was in smart kind over staying visits before that along with his winning kind on soft ground an extra bonus.
