Verdict

A step up in trip has suited SANDY STEVE and the Chelmsford winner is the one to beat in this if handling another 2f – he’s already proven around here. Risk Mitigation probably has place claims again but a bigger danger may be Goodwood third Royal Dancer. Expected improvement in Ramatuelle has so far failed to materialise but blinkers are applied here and this is such a poor race that the Prescott runner can’t be ignored.
