Verdict
Quite a competitive nursery that can go to Molcon, who is just preferred to Great Scott and Celtic Thunder on these terms. The selection has improved with each run to date and impressed with his attitude when adding to his tally at Newmarket just over a week ago. The has shaped as if a step up in trip will not be a problem for him in time so this stiff uphill finish should hold no fears for him today. Great Scott is an obvious danger and will find this an easier target than his latest start in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood. However, he faces no easy task in giving in excess of 8lbs away to all his rivals today. A bigger threat could therefore be posed by Celtic Thunder, who won his maiden in good style over course and distance last month. Ann Summers Two is another who is capable of getting involved if she arrives here in the same frame of mind after going close at Windsor a fortnight ago. However, she may find Molcon too progressive a rival to give weight to and she is best limited to an each way interest at best.
