Cantiniere bids for a hat-trick of wins on the all-weather having been raised a further 5lb for his latest success at Wolverhampton. Lawn Ranger has been upped 7lb for a victory at Goodwood back in August but though both of the above can figure again, GOOD TIDINGS (NAP) has the more scope. John Gosden’s colt shrugged-off a penalty at Newcastle to win with any amount in hand and can continue his good progress now handicapping. Just The Man is facing a tougher task today and Geetanjali is another needing to improve at this level.
