A wide-open sprint and most are old foes. Stablemates Tarboosh and Line Of Reason filled the places at Musselburgh last time and the former had earlier been beaten by Dakota Gold at Haydock. But Michael Dods’ charge has subsequently fallen victim to FOOLAAD at Catterick and it’s the latter that gets the vote to go in again given Roy Bowring’s charge remains on a winning mark and can also confirm latest running with Copper Knight. The latter beat Camacho Chief and Holmeswood at York and Erissimus Maximus also beat Holmeswood at Ascot recently. Sir Robert Cheval is back on a winning mark but Duke Of Firenze, Evergate, Excessable and East Street Revue were all behind the selection at Catterick a week ago.
