Tasfeeq bids for a hat-trick after winning at Bath but Bonneval has been winning tougher handicaps at Newcastle and was narrowly beaten by Tahitian Prince at Kempton early in the year. The latter won at the same track last time while Epic Endeavour scored at Carlisle recently. Dark Shift and Final Watch are both recent winners over 7f with the former scoring here but WALHAAN gets another chance in a tight contest. James Tate’s charge found only one too good over course and distance last month and Ryan Moore stays loyal.
