Another big field, luck in running will be needed for some and a low draw might prove beneficial. The bottom one The Liffey could have been underestimated in the betting due to the fact he's been doing much of his winning in claimers, but he showed a good attitude back in a handicap on his stable debut at Kempton and he has a nice draw here. The selection, though, is DEFENCE MINISTER, who hasn't been at his best in big-field handicaps on the straight course at Ascot the last twice, but enjoys going around the bend and he's only 2lb higher than when a good fourth in this 12 months ago. The progressive Zarathos should be suited by the drop to 7f, while Bobby Bennu is a rock-solid option off a competitive mark towards the head of the betting. Ryan Moore is a significant booking for Crimson Spirit and that one needs considering also. |

Another big field, luck in running will be needed for some and a low draw might prove beneficial. The bottom one The Liffey could have been underestimated in the betting due to the fact he's been doing much of his winning in claimers, but he showed a good attitude back in a handicap on his stable debut at Kempton and he has a nice draw here. The selection, though, is DEFENCE MINISTER, who hasn't been at his best in big-field handicaps on the straight course at Ascot the last twice, but enjoys going around the bend and he's only 2lb higher than when a good fourth in this 12 months ago. The progressive Zarathos should be suited by the drop to 7f, while Bobby Bennu is a rock-solid option off a competitive mark towards the head of the betting. Ryan Moore is a significant booking for Crimson Spirit and that one needs considering also. |
