Verdict
A fast time looks on the cards in this as it features a host of front-runners. Caspian Prince blasts out of the gates and COPPER KNIGHT made all when successful at Chester, where Rich And Famous was taken off his feet – it may be worth sticking with the three-year-old as Rachel Richardson’s claim takes a chunk out of the extra 8lb. Rasheeq finished ahead of Poyle Vinnie, Union Rose, Soie D'leau and Mont Kiara when second to Duke Of Firenze over course and distance at the last meeting here but that was on soft ground. Tim Easterby also runs the speedy East Street Revue and old-timer Confessional while Out Do is on a very fair mark nowadays and he’ll be one who would benefit if the leaders go too quickly. Love On The Rocks was second behind East Street Revue here in August and made a winning reappearance at Bath but has only won at the west country track so far.
