Crownthorpe has been hit with an 11lb rise for winning easily at Sandown but should still confirm that form with fourth Lethal Lunch as he’s improved for the step up to 7f. The former’s trainer also has Guzman and Inviolable Spirit entered while Richard Hannon runs the hat-trick seeking Rum Runner and Toomer, who could be on a fair mark. Ventura Knight rattled up a hat-trick in June and July but has not been in the same form in his last two starts and Silvestre De Sousa deserts him here in favour of NOBLEMAN’S NEST. Simon Crisford’s colt was unlucky here on debut but made no mistake next time at Newmarket. He was much too keen when well beaten in the Gimcrack at York on his latest start but may be able to get back on track today.
