In depth
Verdict
It could pay to stick with FRENCH PRESS in this despite a further 7lb rise. Mike Appleby's charge shrugged off a previous 8lb hike in the weights to win easily at Hamilton last time and has not finished improving yet. Eastern Dragon won off a much higher mark last year and finished closer at Kempton last time and Limerick Lord has been thereabouts off similar marks of late. Commanche has a shout dropped in class and Ghost Train is better than his latest poor effort suggests.
