In depth
Verdict
MICKEY is getting closer in handicaps and was beaten only a short-head in this grade at Newmarket last time. He can confirm running with third-placed Quick Look and land this. Seychelloise has been placed on more than one occasion at this level while Gentlemen recorded a course and distance double earlier in the year and is only 2lb higher today. Major Crispies and Hakam were both placed on their latest starts but are upped a grade for this.
