Verdict
Bryan Smart's Avertuoso won well on a softish surface at Ayr last week and he has to be respected under his penalty but it is another runner with a penalty gets the vote, TENANCY. The six-year-old could not have won with any more ease than when successful on heavy ground at Newcastle last week, when making all and beating his nearest rival by eight lengths; he can follow up that success and win again. Frank Sheridan's Albero di Giuda is capable but is becoming expensive to follow, while Maragna has the undoubted assistance of Simon Walker in the saddle but is hard to fancy on recent form.
