Verdict
Noble Behest bids for a hat-trick having won over 2m at Thirsk last time but is upped 4lb. He has more scope than last month’s Chelmsford winner Mister Bob and course and distance runner-up Lady Makfi but KING CALYPSO will be tougher to beat. The latter won at Kempton back in May and a recent third in a higher grade contest at the same track suggests he can come out best in this. Opposition may do better stepping up in trip today but Fleeting Visit looks to be treading water off his current mark.
