Verdict
Few without chances in this open event including Chaucer's Tale, despite being 1lb out of the handicap and 5lb higher than his victory at Newcastle. MISTER MUSIC has really struck form for his young rider, scoring twice over 7f in his first two starts on the track. He's been staying on very strongly and the longer trip won't be a problem so a hat-trick beckons. Monsieur Jimmy is very much a track specialist though his victories are usually at a slightly lower level, including his latest last month, while Sooqaan suffered in the weights after completing a course and distance hat-trick in January. Spun Gold was behind the selection last time but has enough of a pull in the weights to get into contention while Zefferino, a son of Frankel, makes his debut on the surface and still has time to make some progress.
