In depth
Verdict
AMPESON (NAP) has a 6lb penalty for Friday's victory over 7f but Jake Coen can claim an extra 2lb and his mount should appreciate the extra furlong. Harbanaker couldn't get close to Akhlaaq last month but was only beaten a length and the winner ran well in a better race than this subsequently. Royal Scholar went up 6lb for his track and trip victory but has continued in fine form while Colonel Slade's close second to Indiana Grey, with Tony The Gent just behind, could be given a boost by the winner in the previous race.
