Super Kid won under today’s rider at Wolverhampton last month and is preferred to stablemate Appointed. Georgia Cox partnered Rashdan to victory over 1m2f at Newcastle a fortnight ago but the latter has something to prove on his previous form on Turf while Play It Cool won a maiden at Dundalk last year and debuts for a new yard. Birds Of Prey won twice in Ireland last season and has had a couple of starts on the all-weather since switching to Paul Nicholls but MISTER BELVEDERE makes most appeal. He won a lady riders event at York before finishing runner-up in Class 2 company at the same track and Michael Dods’ charge should make another bold bid in this.
