Verdict
LANGSTONE shrugged off a penalty to follow up his Doncaster triumph at Kempton and looks a real player now sent handicapping. Clive Cox has his string in excellent order and although this is wide open, his Mayson gelding gets the vote. Wetherby novice winner Princling should go well, as should the progressive Laureate Crown. Lighting Thunder was workmanlike when landing the odds at Nottingham but he could take a step forward in first-time cheekpieces, while others worth considering include Jamestown and Blue Courvoisier.
Expert View Verdict
Clive Cox has a strong recent record in this race and LANGSTONE looks an interesting handicap debutant after completing a double in good style at Kempton last time. Crest Of Fire created a huge impression when bolting up by 10 lengths in a maiden at Southwell on his most recent effort and rates a major player if able to reproduce that level back on turf. Princling also enters calculations after a smooth success to open his account on the third time of asking at Wetherby and remains open to plenty of improvement now in handicap company.
