Verdict
Only six runners in this finale but the top four all looks to have a decent chance of passing the post in front. IT'S A PRIVILEGE obviously likes plenty of give underfoot and has only found one too good at Windsor and Lingfield in his last two starts. He can go one better today though Ascription is less exposed and will be thereabouts again if handling the softer going. The cheekpieces are dispensed with for Khazium and a visor re-applied but the Chepstow second may struggle to last home so Epsom fourth Benzanno may be more interesting.
