Verdict
There’s little separating these at the weights and Badenscoth won’t mind any further rain after winning in soft going at Goodwood. TULFARRIS is fitted with headgear having struggled in last week’s Cambridgeshire at Newmarket but is better judged on earlier attempts over track and trip when going close on three consecutive occasions. He’s taken to confirm latest running here with Grove Ferry and come out best. Piranesi drops back down in trip for this having only raced in novice company so far while Prejudice and Wait Forever have also been competing over 1m2f but Prince Of Harts should be sharper for a comeback run at Newbury.
