Verdict
Willingly was raised 6lb for his opening victory at Yarmouth on his 14th start and was engaged in the 5.35 at Windsor yesterday. He had a couple of lengths to spare over today's rival La Roca Del Fuego but the latter has the advantage of a course victory to his credit. Vincenzo Coccotti has a cracking record around here, gaining half of his eight career victories on the track, and is just 1lb higher than his last success. At Your Service is 2-6 on the track but Perfect Symphony, another track and trip winner, has been beaten off lower marks than this the last five times he's run. TARSEEKH isn't a prolific winner but has won twice here and only weakened in the closing stages when attempting to make all last time so could be good enough. Jungle Boogaloo was engaged in the 5.05 at Windsor yesterday.
