Verdict
Biting Bullets has been raised a further 5lb for finishing second at Lingfield and KAUFMANN is preferred. The latter had landed a double over track and trip before attempting to make all in Class 2 company and this looks more his level. John Gosden's colt is taken to reverse latest running with third-placed Rockaroundtheclock while Barchan and Saltarello are up in class and Little Lord Nelson's recent course win came in a maiden race over 6f.
