Verdict
Unbeaten last year, MINE’S A DOUBLE (NAP) could only manage fifth over 5f at Newbury on his reappearance but he’s won both over this longer trip and at this venue in the past and Clive Cox’ yard has hit top form. Many A Star was only beaten a neck at Goodwood on his return to action and is another to consider while Silver Samurai drops down in distance with a chance on his best form. Prontissimo won off a 5lb lower mark over track and trip in September and has more scope than Spanish Star.
