Verdict
A well-polished pin may be just as effective as the form book for this wide-open sprint. Only one three-year-old, Servoca, has won this in the last six years and he was also the only one to be drawn lower than 16 which suggests Kyllachy Rise, Birdman, Secret Look and Flyman have it all to do. The in-form Lancelot Du Lac should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick, however, while Secret Witness is back on the same mark as when third in the Portland Handicap here last month though, along with stable companion Prodigality, was behind Ancient Cross when Mick Easterby's charge was second in this 12 months ago. Gramercy would have claims on his latest third over 7f at Ascot but it would be no surprise if PEARL ICE were to reverse the form of that race dropping back to his best trip He won over track and trip last month and is 9lb better off than when just beaten by Spinatrix at Ripon earlier. Rodrigo De Torres is fairly handicapped if back on song.
