In depth
Verdict
The lightly-raced PASSOVER is making up for lost time as he bids for a hat-trick. He escapes a penalty for winning an apprentice race by seven lengths at Epsom last time and rider Hugo Hunt has a good strike rate for the yard. Biotic is upped 5lb after scoring at Windsor and Party Royal won under today's amateur at Salisbury recently. Lu's Buddy went close at Epsom on his latest start and is preferred to Brighton winner Silver Alliance.
