An apprentice's claim negates Postscript's latest rise in the weights for winning over C&D and he should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. He may find ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE too good today, however, as the latter acts in soft ground and went close in a much tougher race at Newmarket last time. He gets the nod ahead of Dolphin Rock, who has claims on his latest third at York, while Levitate may be capable of further progress having scored at Doncaster last week. Uppercut is a winner on fast ground but has something to prove on today's going.
