Peterhouse is often placed but is on a losing run and has never won over this trip. A visor is tried today but the top weight still looks worth opposing given he seems to have a mind of his own. Longside lacks an extra gear and the older horses are vulnerable against the three-year-olds which include Theglasgowwarrior, who ran his best so far at Salisbury earlier this month, and Chocolate Box. The step up to 1m4f has brought about the expected improvement in Luca Cumani’s colt and the booking of Ryan Moore suggests there is plenty of confidence behind the Newbury second today but he finished behind MISTRESS QUICKLY on the same terms at Doncaster two runs ago so we’ll give another chance to Ralph Beckett’s filly.
