Last Sovereign is enjoying a new lease of life as a nine-year-old and should make a bold bid for his hat-trick despite a further 4lb rise. But he's closely matched with Doctor Parkes on latest running and the latter is weighted to reverse the form though he was engaged at Pontefract lastnight. Mac's Power is still capable of getting involved at this level but rarely gets his head in front nowadays while the veteran Tax Free may have done his winning for the year after a victory over track and trip last month. GOLDREAM has been running well in better company than this recently and it could be his turn today with Frankie Dettori taking over the reins. Cincinnati Kid arrives in fine form but this is much tougher than his recent tasks.
