Verdict
Lake Como has to give 4lb and upwards to his rivals after winning by three lengths at Newcastle over seven furlongs and, if he gets the mile, he will make a bold bid to follow up. RAGING RAJ is looking for his hat-trick after wins at Kempton over a mile and then here over 7f, and the small field should suit him, with Emma's Letter potentially booked for third.
Expert View Verdict
Lake Como has progressed well since leaving Ballydoyle and got off the mark in good style at Newcastle last time, but he does need to prove his stamina for 8f - he made no impact over almost 9f on debut for this yard - and so it may be worth siding with RAGING RAJ who is bidding for a hat-trick. He's up 7lb, but is proven at the trip and already a course winner. Emma's Letter is consistent and stays the trip well, so should be thereabouts once more.
