In depth
Verdict
Cliffs Of Capri won an amateur riders race at Ascot a fortnight ago and is 5lb higher. He’d finished behind Ifubelieveindreams and runner-up Maypole here before that and the latter should figure back over 7f today. Unforgiving Minute was runner-up over a mile here last time and this looks easier while Quick Breath won over course and distance recently but is upped in class off a higher mark. The consistent FLORENCIO has won twice over today’s trip on the all-weather this year and was beaten less than a length at Newcastle last time. Roger Fell’s charge should make another bold bid in his current form and gets the vote.
