Verdict
James Fanshawe's Prompt Payment only just did enough to win at Leicester last month but has every chance of following up here in what is not that much a better contest and, with conditions to suit, the daughter of In The Wings will be tough to beat. Topweight Garden Society is unlikely to appreciate the rain that has fallen of late, a comment that also applies to Hello Sweety and Shuwaib. Of the others Willie Musson's Street Life has shown a real liking for testing conditions and should be at home under the prevailing soft ground.
