Verdict
INISHMOT PRINCE gained his seventh course victory here a week ago when just under a length ahead of Distillate. The runner-up has more scope but appeared to have every chance and the winner, who has been left on the same mark, can go in again. Maggie McGrath changed yards and made all for a convincing victory over the minimum a month ago and a 5lb rise looks manageable while Cash Or Crypto is up the same amount after just holding on over the trip three weeks ago. Imperial Khan scored at Beverley for Paul Midgley but has moved yards.
