Misbehaviour and Kayceecee were due to take each other on under the same terms last week but were denied a run because of the bad weather and, as it did then, the vote goes to the former with Hegarty potentially the best of the rest. Kayceecee was good value for his win at Warwick two starts ago but his subsequent defeat behind Speed Venture off a 5lb lower mark than he races off today leaves Henry Daly's gelding with no easy task against Misbehaviour, who has won his last two starts in good fashion and is taken to complete a hat trick. Walsingham has claims of reversing Warwick form with Kayceecee and cannot be discounted, while Pseudonym looks strictly held by the selection on running last time. Clear Thinking has given little sign of encouragement of late, while Lysander has failed to progress from a promising effort behind Alfred The Great at Kelso three starts ago and now looks best watched. Jonjo O'Neill's Hegarty was not beaten far at Sandown under testing conditions last time and has to be considered but Misbehaviour is in fine form at present and gets the vote to score again.
