Verdict
PLEASURE GARDEN (NAP) has now won four of his last five outings and, like others typical of his yard, improved for the step up to 2m when scoring at Chepstow last time. Sir Mark Prescott’s charge can defy a further 3lb rise with more to come over today’s trip. Winning hurdler Prefontaine has placed off today’s mark on the Flat though hasn’t raced since January while Fun Mac’s latest success came over 2m2f at Pontefract and Author's Dream won over 1m6f at Sandown in June, though does stay this far. Graceful Lady may prove best of the rest.
