Holbeck Ghyll is in fine form at present, coming here on a hat-trick following wins at Salisbury and Bath that have worked out well; however, Extremely Rare may have found the race coming too soon after his Warwick win when beaten behind Andrew Balding's gelding at Salisbury and is taken to reverse form with Judd Street rated the best of the remainder. The selection is another in-form sprinter and is set to go up 6lbs in the handicap from tomorrow so makes plenty of appeal off today's mark. The consistent Divine Spirit, Milton Bradley's Salviati and Richard Fahey's Kings College Boy, who has been running well in defeat of late all warrant respect. Turibius is capable but needs things to drop right for him, while Attorney is probably in the grip of the handicapper now and of more interest may be Judd Street, who resumed winning ways on the all-weather off today's mark last time and has the pick of the draw. Extremely Rare is not badly drawn though and is taken to make the most of today's favourable terms.
