led briefly, settled 3rd on inside after 11/2f, switched out 3f out, went 2nd and edged right over 2f out, soon ridden, driven to lead inside final furlong, stayed on well and always doing enough
Sleeping Lion has looked high enough in the weights since winning here back in April and Uber Cool looks struck on his current mark on the back of recent placed efforts. Bandinelli has won over 1m6f and is preferred to both Prince Of Harts and Hyanna, who also step up in distance, but a chance is taken on NATE THE GREAT. The latter has faced stiff tasks on Turf since scoring off a higher mark at Wolverhampton at the start of the year and may well return to his best back on the all-weather.
