Verdict
Returning from a break, Nuits St Georges found only one too good when chasing a hat-trick at Haydock but has been raised another 4lb since. This should chiefly concern two progressive three-year-olds in Tigerskin and CAMBRIC. Both are on a three-timer with the former already a winner here over 1m4f and 1m6f. But he steps up two grades for this and Roger Charlton’s charge stayed on strongly at Salisbury last time so will enjoy this trip and gets the nod. Goscote has been lightly raced but he’s run a couple of poor races since winning at Nottingham in July.
