Race preview
Regent's Stroll is bound to be popular given that connections won this last year with a similar type. However, the seven-year-old could be vulnerable and preference is for SALVER, who put in a career best when third in the Brown Advisory last month. That is the strongest piece of recent form on offer and the son of Motivator merits the utmost respect. Wendigo would not have been too far behind the selection at Cheltenham but for a fall at the last, while Gold Dancer is the pick of the remainder having finished a place ahead of Regent's Stroll in the Jack Richards last time.
