The weights in this just favour PREROGATIVE and the gelding could give trainer and jockey a quick double, despite a career record which reads 0-16. Outback Blue is next best on these terms but has not won in 10 tries over this trip, though has scored over 7f and a mile. This is possibly also too far for Born To Please while Ididitforyoooo has not progessed from a second in a maiden at Nottingham in August.
