Fattsota went very close to following up his C&D victory when caught on the line at Doncaster last month. He's up another 3lb for that defeat and Tropical Beat is now 12lb higher than his earlier win at Kempton after narrowly losing out at Haydock last time. Royal Peculiar was beaten less than length at York back in May and has his first outing since but Silver Lime finished a creditable third in similar company over track and trip last month and makes more appeal than Henry Clay. Being the first foal of the brilliant Ouija Board, VOODOO PRINCE has suffered a little by comparison but he's a decent handicapper on his day and could prove even better attempting 1m4f for the first time. Ed Dunlop's charge gets the vote to come out best in this.
