Don Pietro, Zabeel House and Right Ted look to be the leading lights in this open handicap and the vote is given to Don Pietro. The selection won well last time at Leicester when beating Bahhmirage and there is sure to be more to come from this 3-year-old. He moves into handicap company off what looks a fair mark, he has a good draw and with the booking of Frankie Dettori catching the eye he looks to have strong claims. Zabeel House went off favourite at Sandown last time when he finished third behind Fantastisch. He looks to be a little high in the weights at present and he is not helped here by his low draw. Right Ted finished behind Zabeel House last time and on these terms there should be very little between them again today. Charlton does not appear to get this trip so he looks one to put a line through and for the winner we will stick with the progressive Don Pietro.
