Several in-form handicappers face the starter here with Artful Prince on a hat-trick after victories at Ripon and Newmarket. Fit The Bill has yet to finish out of the first two in six runs this year and arrives off the back of a win at Redcar while Sirheed was second at Haydock after scoring at Salisbury. Beverley winner Maven finished ahead of Fiftyshadesfreed when fifth at York but Yul Finegold may be a shade high in the weights at present and Italian import Thomas Sensazione is best watched on his first start for Marco Botti. LET'S GO (NAP) beat the 80-rated Mister Brightside in a canter on his belated debut at Lingfield and looks a smart prospect. The handicapper hasn't over-reacted and the Godolphin gelding can double his tally here.
