RACING POST VERDICT

It's hard to say who will improve the most but GUEST HOUSE gets the vote ahead of Sharp Romance, Eddaari and Alpine Culture.

Our Expert Tip

SHARP ROMANCE won really nicely at Kempton last time out and now steps into handicap company off a mark of 72. Ashley Lewis takes another 5lb off, so effectively racing off 67 looks ideal for this sort of contest.

At 6/1 at the time of writing, I think the each way angle looks the best play.
