Verdict
Only a neck separated Organdi and Irish Prophecy on similar terms at Warwick last September but the latter lacks a recent run. Duc De Beauchene has won two of his last three and proved his stamina last time at Fakenham. A further 4lb rise looks manageable but Stylish Moment has gone up 7lb for winning at Haydock. DEE STAR (NAP) likes it here and is sure to have benefited from a recent outing at Southwell. He is 2lb out of the handicap but was placed over 4m two runs ago so will get every inch of this trip. Dallas Des Pictons was tailed off here on Saturday while Chirico Vallis’ stamina may be suspect.
