Verdict

Come Out Fighting can do that just here and see off the challenge of Chief Editor and Kay Two. The selection ran a blinder at Hamilton last time when he chased home the Godolphin runner Opera Cape. He gets on well with today's pilot Graham Gibbons and he can earn a deserved success. Chief Editor is lightly-raced and he showed some decent form as a juvenile. He has the services of Jamie Spencer in the plate which is interesting, and he should come on for his most recent outing. Kay Two unsetaed his rider in a hot handicap at Doncaster last time and providing that hasn't dented his confidence in any way he can go well. He had previously scored impressively at Bath and he is definite shortlist material. Golden Dixie is a course and distance winner who has the plum draw and he has solid each-way prospects. A good race this and it can go the way of Paul Blockley's Come Out Fighting.
