Verdict

PROSECUTION didn’t really settle last time at Leicester but stayed on into fourth past beaten horses suggesting he’ll fare better here if proving more amenable to restraint. Hughie Morrison’s charge is preferred to It's How We Roll, fourth over a mile here on his first start for John Spearing. Kempton third Settle Petal also tries a longer trip but Red Emperor has more scope, though he’s not certain to stay this far on pedigree. Olympic Legend and Sandy Shores look best of the rest.
