Formscan - Harry Eustace hasn't hidden his confidence in LA BOTTE, with the Newmarket handler stating earlier in the week this would probably be the last time he is seen in handicap company before aiming higher. A desperately unlucky loser in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, he made a pleasing reintroduction when fourth in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton and that outing should bring him on nicely. Eternal Force represents a yard that has won this contest five times, most notably with Addeybb in 2018 and last year with Godwinson, and he arrives in search of a four-timer after impressing at Haydock on his final appearance last term. Rogue Diplomat ended last season winning four on the bounce, including a brace of 7f handicaps here in the autumn, and he enters calculations along with Botanical, who makes his first start for Karl Burke, and Anno Domini, with Charlie Appleby opting to utilise Toby Moore's 7lb claim.
