Without A Fight’s stamina will have to be taken on trust as he’s by Teofilo and his dam was best up to a mile but he’s won twice over 1m2f in convincing fashion and could be anything. COCONUT (NAP) won over 1m4f on rain-softened ground at Newbury and doesn’t look badly treated on her handicap debut. She’s preferred to Tribal Craft, who has already disappointed twice over this trip, and Hochfeld, who is probably back in the handicapper’s grip. Neither Toronto nor Kasaman have shown enough this year to warrant close inspection.
