Sultans Pride is enjoying a terrific campaign and beat stablemate Teescomponents Lad by two-and-a-half lengths at Doncaster three weeks ago. However, Tom Midgley now switches to the runner-up, who is 4lb better off. KAIZER (NAP) bolted up over track and trip two runs ago and came up against a progressive and well-treated rival on a return visit. He’s getting plenty of weight from his rivals in this and can get back to winning ways with Wakool failing to defy a 9lb rise when on a four-timer at Musselburgh last month and raised a further 3lb since. Small Present has already been beaten by a couple of these this season and probably needs softer going.
