Verdict

PRETTY VACANT has the strongest form and may defy a penalty for his earlier win at Leicester. Roger Varian’s grey wasn’t disgraced in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time. Cappananty Con was placed at Kempton recently and Second Nature made the frame at Bath on his debut. Both look likely improvers but Mums The Word and Goodwood Crusader have plenty to find with the selection on running at Leicester.
