Although it is highly unlikely that there is another Cyrname in this year's renewal there does look another up and coming star in the making in ESPOIR DE GUYE who fairly bolted up here over 2m3f last time out. A 14lb rise in a tougher race isn't enough to temper enthusiasm in Venetia Williams' novice; the yard won this race in 2016. Big handicap specialist Happy Diva always goes well in such contests as she showed when third in this 12 months ago. She seems better than ever this season and looks nailed on to make the frame. It is hard to gauge how good Domaine De L'Isle can be after two most impressive wins and he certainly merits consideration.
