INVINCIBLE ARMY (NAP) is clear at the weights having finished runner-up in both the Molecomb at Goodwood and the Gimcrack Stakes at York last time - James Tate’s colt can deservedly go one better in this. Lake Volta was placed in Listed company at Ripon recently and is preferred to novice stakes winners Corinthia Knight and Green Fortune, though a couple of these made winning debuts and are unexposed. Thechildren'strust landed a decent maiden at Goodwood while Eqtidaar won with the minimum amount of fuss at Nottingham and both warrant a try in this company.
