Verdict

Mr Christopher, Baltic Prince and Alkashaaf were all narrowly beaten last time but the latter has shown his best form over 6f and was five lengths behind Rouge Nuage over course and distance in August. LAGENDA produced a respectable first run for Kristin Stubbs at Chelmsford and has been dropped a pound since. That was only his second start on the all-weather and he may have a bit more scope on the surface than some. Ballymore Castle has been thereabouts lately but over a shorter trip and he has a poor strike rate. Rock Warbler won at Newcastle in September and hasn’t been disgraced since so can’t be ignored.
