Verdict
Rime Avec Gentil had Plug In Baby five lengths behind when scoring over 2m1f here 15 days ago but Nick Mitchell's four-year-old may be able to take advantage of a turnaround in the weights here with first-time cheekpieces to help. Kapdor beat Priest Field over 2m at Worcester last month and can confirm that form but Ton-Chee looks a light of former days and Tower made mistakes when third to Princely Hero at Stratford and has proved disappointing. BINGO DES MOTTES never got competitive when well behind Pindar at Hereford but did win on heavy ground at Perth earlier so should appreciate ground conditions here. Dropped in grade, he could land this though Sahrati also has winning form in better company.
