A typical Saturday sprint where many hold claims but PROHIBIT has been given a serious opportunity by the handicapper and Robert Cowell's charge can take full advantage. The former King's Stand winner hasn't won for almost two years but today's revised mark of 101 looks to be fair. Masamah seems revitalised by a switch to Marco Botti and he ran well at Haydock despite pulling hard in the early stages. Face The Problem has struggled against the handicapper this term but he is slowly starting to come down the weights. Move In Time won on his first two starts for David O'Meara and while not disgraced in better company, he'll need a career best in order to win. Steps loves to fly from off the pace and he ran a stormer to be placed at Sandown although backers of Taajub are entitled to count themselves unlucky in the same contest. Ancient Cross has always threatened to win a big prize and is very much noted in the market.
