Verdict
Sohraab is taken to complete the hat-trick here at the main expense of Daddy Cool and Temtation. Hughie Morrison's colt won a little cosily on his first try in a handicap last time out and whilst a rise of 8lbs in the handicap looks harsh, the first two pulled a mile clear that day and he may be capable of defying that rise. Temtation had no real excuses for defeat last time out but should be in the shake-up, whilst course and distance winner Daddy Cool should still be competitive off his mark of 69. Herefod Boy is one who looks in the handicapper's grip, whereas Nou Camp disappointed last time out and will need to bounce back. In a fairly open-looking finale, we will side with hat-trick seeking Sohraab to land the spoils.
