Verdict
RANGI has returned a losing favourite on his last three starts but won't get many easier opportunities than this to open his account. A runner-up on his latest couple of outings at Kempton, today's opposition will need plenty of improvement to better John Gosden's colt. Tanawar was beaten a long way in fifth at Doncaster on his debut and Rectory Lane finished last on her racecourse debut. Lady Lunchalot has shown a bit more with a couple of placed efforts over C&D and looks the main threat.
