In depth
Verdict
Paxos is upped in class and raised 4lb looking to land a treble while Thrill Seeker’s earlier win here came over a mile. No Nonsense has slid down the weights and returned to action with a second in better company here. He’s preferred to Gavi Di Gavi, Caspian Queen and the returning Dyami but TOMOUH (NAP) can edge this. The Godolphin filly went close at Chelmsford conceding weight to three-year-old rivals and will be more at home in this handicap with an apprentice’s allowance also helping her cause.
