None of the quartet can be dismissed out of hand but VISIBLE CHARM’s defeat at the hands of the unbeaten Tomfre looks the strongest form on offer. The Godolphin charge pushed the latter close over track and trip on that occasion and is fancied to edge out Hariboux in this. Hugo Palmer's charge has won two of three starts in novice company, including a recent success over today’s distance at Brighton, while Road Rage opened his account in a handicap at Haydock, though it was soft going and he’s been raised 7lb. Saint Of Katowice found only Above too good at Musselburgh last time and the latter has won again subsequently.
