Verdict
This looks no tougher than the sprint Line Of Reason won at Musselburgh last time. He’s upped 3lb but is still expected to confirm running with Robot Boy, Jack Dexter and Confessional. ORION’S BOW was well beaten when sent off favourite in that same race at Musselburgh but was eased down having failed to get a clear run. He gets another chance in this though Lexington Abbey will be sharper for a recent comeback and Soie D'leau is back on a winning mark. Better was expected of Rasheeq at Musselburgh last time while Escalating has improved for being gelded but was raised 4lb for winning at Nottingham recently.
