Race preview
EGOISTE has improved considerably over the past few months by stringing together a consistent level of form and the five-year-old arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories, having won twice at Wolverhampton in March. He beat the same rival on each occasion and produced a career-best display when scoring comfortably on the most recent of those outings, so an 8lb rise may not be enough to halt him. Wadacre Grace, Smart Deal and Red Hat Eagle are others likely to enter the reckoning.
