In depth
Verdict
Certificate won at Lingfield in December and has gone close in both subsequent starts. But he hasn’t raced since February and CAN’T CHANGE IT is preferred. David Simcock’s charge looked better than ever on his reappearance at Goodwood last month when scoring by a cosy two lengths and a further 8lb rise may not be enough to anchor him today. Hold Tight was eased down after being hampered at Ascot on his return but headgear is applied for the first time here while though Toocoolforschool won the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury as a two-year-old he has run nowhere that level since and goes handicapping for the first time today. Lord Of The Rock won the Spring Mile at Doncaster back in April but was well beaten last time and Wilde Inspiration is preferred off his current mark.
