Verdict

Prince Of Sorrento's victories have either been on soft ground or Polytrack and conditions will be against him but Highland Colori appears to act on anything and has to be a threat on his hat-trick bid from just 5lb higher than his latest success at Newmarket. Terdaad scrambled home at Salisbury and made a gallant attempt to defy a 9lb rise at Kempton where he finished strongly. This stiff track will be in his favour and he looks certain to go well. Weapon Of Choice is just 1lb higher than when scoring over the C&D a month ago but that was on very heavy going and he's better with some give. Sinfonico seems better on Polytrack so this can go to DIVERTING. William Jarvis' charge completed a hat-trick last summer and not surprisingly shot up the weights but he showed with an eye-catching run on his reappearance at Ascot that he's not finished yet and Harry Bentley's claim is a bonus.
