Verdict
An uninspiring contest from a betting viewpoint with so many backward and lightly raced types in opposition so stakes should be kept to a minimum. Lion Hunter has shown a fair level of ability but has been costly to follow having been a beaten favourite including twice at odds-on during his four-race career and has something to prove following a near four-month absence. Rajasthan is also returning from a break and faces a stiffer task compared to his placed effort on the all-weather last time. Newcomer Cap Horn is a full brother to former stablemate and Cambridgeshire hero Cap Juluca and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure but the TEAMtalk vote goes to Heronetta. John Gosden's yard continues in fine fettle and this filly, who handles the forecast good to firm going, has a sound chance on her third behind a useful yardstick in a similar heat over this trip at Chepstow in July.
