King's Pavilion won over this trip at Ripon in August and was only beaten a head over 7f here on his penultimate start. But he was soon left behind at Epsom last time when a hot favourite and this will be his ninth start of a busy campaign. Give in the ground suits Dolphin Vista, who won a maiden auction event by three lengths at York two weeks ago. He'd only finished third in a nursery at Ripon earlier, however, and is 12lb higher today. EBTIHAAL comfortably accounted for the 80-rated Prince Of Arran at Brighton on only his second start with a 77-rated runner more than four lengths further behind in third. Prince Of Arran had just been touched off in a valuable nursery over this track and trip at the St Leger meeting so the form stands up to scrutiny and the Godolphin colt looks to have been let in lightly. Scarlet Dragon needs to improve on recent efforts.
