Verdict

Prompt Payment hails from a yard in top form at present and looks ready to add to the tally after a most promising second over this trip on soft ground at Newbury last time. Early Morning Mist is on a long losing sequence but has tumbled in the weights and is now finding her form while neither Lermentov or Lord Eurolink can be discounted in a tight affair.
