Verdict
Rum Runner keeps popping up when least expected but the recent Newmarket winner is unlikely to get his own way out in front today. Calder Prince runs his best races over track and trip and has had wind surgery since last seen. He’s back on the same mark as when successful at Wolverhampton in the spring but Richard Kingscote prefers stablemate MICKEY, who has been threatening to win a race all season and deserves a change of luck. Commander Han and Big Storm Coming are both more than capable of going close in this grade while Rhona Pindar’s claim can also help Humble Gratitude get competitive.
