In depth
Verdict
Raucous has been thereabouts since scoring at Goodwood in May but remain 9lb higher. EASTERN IMPACT (NAP) is preferred back on Turf as he finished a close-up second at Newmarket on his penultimate start and Richard Fahey’s charge should make a bold bid on that form. Victory Angel also ran well at Newmarket earlier though struggled in the Wokingham at Ascot last time while Hart Stopper went close in a lower grade at Headquarters recently but Erissimus Maximus makes more appeal at this level with Saryshagann hard to fancy.
