Verdict
Most of these are old foes with MYSEVEN (NAP) preferred today. The latter bids for a hat-trick having got the better of Cardano at Newcastle last time and can re-oppose on more favourable terms with an apprentice taking over the reins. The latter has been raised in the weights for subsequently winning over track and trip with Scarlet Dragon back in third and Alan King’s charge had earlier finished behind subsequent winner Furzig and runner-up Pirate King here. Autumn War completed a double over 1m6f last month but Pretending, a prolific winner in Italy, debuts for a new yard.
