The well-bred Intercepted was well backed over this trip on his handicap debut at Chelmsford and duly obliged. He beat Dream Ruler a length-and-a-half and can confirm running with the second, despite a penalty. But he looks as though a further step up in distance would suit and he has to give 11lb here to the improving FREE PASSAGE. Henry Candy's gelding turned the corner at Sandown last month and did even better upped in trip at Windsor. Papou Tony is having his first try over 1m2f while Zoffanys Pride has yet to figure over the trip and might benefit from dropping back to a mile and easier going. Princess Zoffany may be best of the rest but is 3lb out of the handicap.
