A couple of these drop down in class including Impatient, a runner-up at Kempton the last twice. But ANIMAL INSTINCT (NAP) went close to completing a hat-trick when runner-up in Class 2 company at Chelmsford and Sir Mark Prescott’s colt can go one better in this lower grade with headgear applied. Sermon won over 6f here earlier and placed at Haydock recently but Badri and Sansevero were not at their best last time. Hexagon was tailed-off on his reappearance and has been given a short break.
