Matsunosuke is getting no closer despite tumbling down the weights though Flashbang scored over C&D in this grade in July and is only 2lb higher. Kinglami has been in fine form over 7f at this track of late and should be thereabouts while Belinsky has claims on his previous form over track and trip. PERLACHY scored on the Turf in July and is better off with today's rival Prince Of Passion for a length defeat at Wolverhampton last month. It could be the turn of Ron Harris' charge again today.
