In depth
Verdict
Pleaseletmewin wasn't stopping over 6f at Wolverhampton but this looks a big ask under a penalty against Hyde Park, who looked as though an extra furlong wouldn't come amiss at Leicester, and some promising newcomers. Farook and Londinium should win races while Richard Hannon runs two. Silvestre De Sousa is on METRONOMIC, who is a half-brother to a winning miler who was second over this trip on his two-year-old debut, and he's preferred to Opening Time.
