The progressive Le Chiffre bids for a hat-trick raised a further 6lb and upped in class after scoring at Hamilton while Bottom Bay drops back down in trip after placing over 1m2f at Windsor. Oasis Prince has slipped down the weights without yet showing any benefit but Kylie Rules can figure back in this lower grade. KING’S PAVILION led a furlong out over a shorter trip here a week ago before fading away. That was his best effort of the year so far and, having won this contest off a similar mark last season, Jason Ward’s charge gets the vote to come out best again.
