Most of these can be given a chance of sorts but FAIR SHARE (NAP) is the least exposed. Lady Cecil's colt made a winning return over 1m3f here and there should be more to come now handicapping. Daaree bids for hat-trick off a 6lb higher mark and King Calypso is preferred after a cosy three length win over track and trip. Sleeper and Ssafa are other recent course and distance winners but look high enough in the weights now and Jacob Cats may prove a bigger threat having gone close in a higher grade at Goodwood last time.
