Molinari is upped in class having won at Windsor recently while Bright Eyed Eagle scored at Goodwood on his return only to disappoint at Windsor last time. Fruition is fitted with headgear having failed to show any progress at Newmarket and the recent winners and handicap newcomers TENBURY WELLS and Lady Sansa are preferred. The latter pair won their respective divisions of the same novices race over today’s trip at Chelmsford last time but the Gosden colt looked to have the tougher task and won in a much faster time. Hot Summer also won in novice company when scoring over a mile at Windsor and can figure if lasting home.
