Rampant Lion is upped in class under a penalty having won at Hamilton recently. Mutanaasib was also placed in a lower grade at Lingfield last time and Quality Seeker is preferred on his latest third at Kempton. Wicker will find this easier than her latest task at Newmarket and can figure but MARTINEO makes more appeal. John Butler’s colt has been rested since finishing fourth at Yarmouth in June on his handicap debut and has plenty of scope on his return to action.
