Verdict
An open sprint though Watchya is raised 8lb for winning at Wolverhampton and Sterling Knight is penalised for beating Justcallmepete at Windsor with Devaste back in third. Foxy Rascal had the measure of both Latin Lover and Lil Guff when runner-up at Yarmouth recently and is fitted with cheekpieces but another chance goes to ZAMEKA. A tendency to hang left resurfaced when third at Lingfield last time but a first-time visor may help on that score.
