Richard Fahey has a good record in this and International Man won here in July but stablemate Andok is upped in class bidding for a hat-trick. Recent Ripon winner Rhosneigr is another facing a tougher task while Hasanoanda changed hands for 115,000gns at last month’s sales having won at Newmarket for John Gosden. Several unexposed types take their chance including Doncaster winner Francis Xavier and novice winner Rock Force. Addis Ababa was placed on his handicap debut under Danny Tudhope but the latter switches to RISE HALL for this and Martyn Meade’s Frankel colt may well be worth sticking with now handicapping after romping home by nine lengths in first-time headgear at Salisbury.
