Stepped up on his last two starts and remains far from exposed; not beaten too far when fourth here over 1m2f (handicap) 52 days ago; this only his second handicap outing; poses a threat as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest and has proved he knows how to win.

Verdict

A tight one to call. Libeccio is one to consider while Southampton is a credible contender. However, the suggestion is PALACE GUARD. He is a winner and is of interest if excusing his most recent run.
