Verdict
SEVEN QUESTIONS was given an excellent ride by Jamie Spencer to win over 5f here latest, but he can be even better over this extra furlong and is taken to go in again. Sudden Flight shaped with real promise when third on his seasonal return at Windsor and should be in the mix off a 1lb lower rating. Topweight Toyotomi heads the remainder.
Expert View Verdict
Seven Questions was a Group 3 winner two years ago and, although up 3lb for his recent course success, he remains fairly treated. The bigger issue could be the step back up to 6f - his best efforts have come at the minimum trip. TOYOTOMI is the suggestion having not got the best of runs and finished to good effect when third at Thirsk last week. He's off the same mark here and is fancied to win for the first time since his move from France. Sudden Flight is third choice having reappeared with a pleasing run when third at Windsor. He now gets first-time cheekpieces which could help.
