MITCD only won by a neck over 2m4f here 12 days ago and is 7lb higher but still looks the one to beat given he acts well on the track and few of his rivals today arrive in any kind of form. Hey Bob is only five but already starting to look fully exposed while Civil Unrest was well beaten at Newcastle after making all at Musselburgh. The latter’s stablemate, Ange Des Malberaux, has not reproduced the form of his victory here in September in five subsequent runs and it’s usually worth opposing Beaumont's Party.
