In depth

Verdict

Jack Dawkins has the beating of Determind Stand on running here last month and Henry Cecil's colt is taken to defy the 7lb rise for that success and gets the vote, with The Betchworth Kid looking the pick of the remainder. The last mentioned has shown a consistent level of form, including in nurseries, but may just be a shade high in the weights so looks booked for a place at best. Amanda Perrett's Silver Regent has shown gradual improvement with racing and has to be respected first time in this grade, while Ballochroy similarly looks to be going the right way and cannot be ruled out. Safari Sunup has more to do than when landing a Windsor nursery last time having been raised 9lbs for that success and a safer bet looks to be Henry Cecil's progressive Jack Dawkins.
