Iver Bridge Lad beat Secret Asset at Nottingham earlier this month and again ran well when runner-up to Genki over 6f here last time. Evens And Odds has more to than when winning at Thirsk but Prohibit was in good form in Dubai earlier this year and wouldn't be without a chance. Borderlescott was runner-up to Equiano in this last year and appears to have the beating of Astrophysical Jet and Group Therapy on the book. He should make another bold bid, though did finish behind surprise winner Sole Power in the Nunthorpe Stakes at York in August. Jonny Mudball may be capable of further improvement this year but faces a stiff task on his reappearance and preference is for ARCTIC FEELING. Three-year-olds have a splendid recent record in this contest and Richard Fahey's speedy gelding, who won three times over this trip as a juvenile, could make the most of his weight allowance today.
