There's no need to look beyond Tasheba here although the race for second should be more competitive. The selection has been raised by 8lbs for his win at Great Leighs but gets in here under a 6lb penalty and should take all the beating; he may only have won by a short-head but the pair were 20 lengths clear of the field and he set a new course record. He was beaten by 5 lengths at Newbury on his penultimate start behind Warringah but that form could hardly be working out any better and he looks to be a useful prospect. Estate has done his winning over further, Lapina looks handicapped to the hilt, Stoop To Conquer isn't hard to catch right and Ashmolian is no great shakes. Teen Spirit and Cossack Prince are unexposed at this trip but they'll need to find plenty of improvement to get the better of Tasheba.
