Verdict
LIONS CHARGE landed a double at the end of last year and went close again at Wolverhampton last time. He is just preferred to Sandy Cove, a close-up second over track and trip last month and racing off the same mark today. Dove Mountain had been thereabouts before a below par effort on his latest start and had finished ahead of Thane Of Cawdor when placed at Wolverhampton earlier while Peeps continues to threaten but still remains winless after 14 attempts.
