PRESCRIPTION looks the obvious answer to this puzzle and she can get the better of Crystal Moments and Luscivious. Sir Mark Prescott is in red hot form at present and the selection can provide him with another winner. She scored with plenty in hand at Lingfield last week and it is unlikely that a 6lbs penalty will be enough to stop her going in again. The only negative would be the draw as she might need some luck to score from stall 13. Crystal Moments is another that has not been done any favours by the draw but she returned to form at Newmarket last time when she chased home Bounty Box and a reproduction of that effort would give her a chance. Luscivious won at Southwell last time but he does tend to reserve his best form for the fibresand so he could be vulnerable today under a penalty. Baby Strange is dropped in grade and he is worth consideration, but Prescription is a filly on the upgrade and she can land the prize.
