A modest maiden handicap but LAUREATE looks solid enough despite the concession of weight all round. His finishing effort at Wetherby last time suggested that the extra quarter of a mile will prove beneficial and the form of that race now reads particularly well with the third having won since and the fourth having finished runner-up in a decent Epsom handicap. Inspector hails from a strong yard and may improve for the increase in trip whilst Piedita has place claims despite rather disappointing last time although Black Prince could prove a better each-way alternative after an improved run latest but he does step-up half a mile in trip.
