The Judge makes plenty of appeal with just a 3lb penalty for his success at Newbury last week and he should be there or thereabouts. Paul Cole has his string in fine order and the gelding should confirm the form with Thihn ¿ even though that one ran an uncharacteristically poor race last time. Duke Of Modena, Island Light and Faithful Warrior are others to consider in an open looking race, but The Judge could have enough improvement in him to hold them all at bay and may go on to make quite a name for himself in the big summer handicaps.
