Verdict

Noble Behest does just enough to win and landed a four-timer with his most recent success over 2m at Lingfield. He beat Lost The Moon a neck on that occasion with Ayr Of Elegance further behind and should make another bold bid but VETTORI RULES is just preferred. The latter failed to win last year but has dropped 12lb down the weights as a consequence and a recent third over today’s trip at Kempton suggests his turn is near. Start Seven went close over 2m at Wolverhampton in between modest efforts over shorter trips and makes more appeal than Argante of the remaining pair.
