Sir Mark Prescott's Krypton Factor won in good fashion when successful at Beverley last month but that was over the minimum trip and the step up to six furlongs plus the penalty for that win make an attempt to follow up no easy task and a better bet may be TOP CARE, who gets the vote. Mark Johnston's colt has yet to open his account but he ran well when finding Azzurra Du Caprio just quarter of the length too good in a Hamilton handicap last month and the son of Bernstein can go one better off just a 2lb higher mark today. Clive Brittain's Jolah could be of interest first time in the grade, while John Dunlop's Goodwood Treasure is surely better than he showed last time but the yard is struggling for winners. Rosina Grey has been in good form but has been punished by the handicapper as a result.
