Verdict
Omniscient stepped up to 1m2f to easily land a maiden handicap at Yarmouth and though this is very much tougher and he's been raised 12lb he comes here with a 6lb penalty so looks well ahead of the handicapper. However, CAIUS CHORISTER has an incredible 17lb rise to contend with after a 12 lengths romp at Epsom where she was following up an even easier victory on the same track. She's still unexposed and a five-timer beckons. Night Of Luxury had a comfortable victory over 1m2f on the latter track and should be even better suited by today's distance while Youthful King has improved on the fast ground with victories at Windsor and Sandown and there's more to come. Sheer Rocks bounced back to form at Chester and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.
