COLOUR OF MONEY showed remarkable improvement last time to win on his handicap bow and is taken to win again ahead of Kabis Amigos and the consistent pair of Jord and Bold Diva. Simon Callaghan's gelding had some rather quiet maiden runs before stepping up in trip last time out at Lingfield. He was pushed out to score and the handicapper may have underestimated that performance with just a 5lb rise in the weights and this 220,000 guineas purchase can win again. Jord very rarely runs a bad race but is yet to win over this trip and is perhaps best at Southwell, Kabis Amigos was well-backed to win a claimer last time and is not to be taken lightly, whilst Outer Hebrides ran a much better race on Friday night and is interesting if turned out quickly. Bold Diva's handicap mark struggles as a result of some consistent efforts, but a bigger threat may be Imperial Sword. David Barron's gelding is yet to prove himself on the all-weather but on his turf form he would be a big danger. A tough race, where Neil Callan takes the eye as a jockey-booking on Mountain Pass, but it is Colour Of Money who can put punters in the black.
