Verdict
The progressive NIETZCHE’S STAR is fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride and complete the hat-trick as he is still receiving weight from his four rivals, despite a further 6lb rise. Vintage Choice looks the danger as he might enjoy this step up in trip but Bayraq makes his debut on Turf and will need to settle better than at Kempton. Tropez Power and Maytree Respite may have some improving to do to figure.
