Going - Heavy. 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Best Secret made the frame in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot last month and he is likely to be on the premises, despite being 5lb higher. High Degree makes his first appearance in a handicap off an appealing rating of 93 and has to be considered, but BEST ADVENTURE gets the vote. Andrew Balding's three-year-old lost two places near the finish when fourth at Sandown earlier in the month and the assessor may have been kind to drop him 1lb. Provided Shane Foley can navigate his draw from stall 16, he may bounce back on this occasion.
