Apart from when a big outsider in the Windsor Castle at Ascot, Lieutenant Rascal has yet to run a bad race so it’s a surprise that he’ll be 2lb lower in the weights from next week. He finished ahead of Midnight Lir at Hamilton in May but I’M SO DIZZY is a bit less exposed and clearly still improving judged on his win at Nottingham. Mr Baloo makes a quick reappearance after running in the Super Sprint at Newbury last Saturday and can’t be left out of calculations but Callianassa has gone up 4lb for finishing second at York. Chinese Knot looks best of the rest.
