A wide open looking handicap in which we will side with St Jean Cap Ferrat with both Just Rob and Legislation worth noting. The selection has run well all season winning at Nottingham before settling for second place at Redcar last month. He is still only lightly raced and looks open to further improvement so is one to stay on the right side of. Just Rob has only been narrowly beaten in his last two races and in the process he has looked a shade unlucky not to have won. If able to recapture his best form then he is another for the short list. Legislation has been expensive to follow but he is trained by John Gosden whose horses have been in good form so he might be worth noting in the betting market. But for the winner we return to St Jean Cap Ferrat.
