Pressurize has been very lightly raced and has won three of his five chase starts. It will be interesting to see if there is any money for Venetia Williams’ charge on his belated reappearance. Doitforthevillage is improving fast but steps up a couple of grades after his latest win at Market Rasen. Dresden was more like his old self last time at Wetherby but he lacks the scope of TEMPLEHILLS. Representing last year’s winning stable, the six-year-old had No Buts almost eight lengths behind when making all here earlier in the month and may not be stopped by an 8lb higher mark if allowed to dominate again.
