Verdict
Curious Fox won at Lingfield before just missing out at Goodwood but is upped in class and raised a further 5lb. STANHOPE (NAP) is preferred as he beat Hart Stopper by three lengths over track and trip last month and the latter went on to land a double. Fivetwoeight ran well on his reappearance and handicap debut at Leicester, while Interlink has been thereabouts on the All-weather recently. Cool Bahamian won off a higher mark over course and distance last season but Ventura Blues looks high enough in the weights returning to 6f.
