Verdict

Kavalotti returned to winning ways over C&D a fortnight ago and should run his race again off a 5lb higher mark. He's been called a few names in the past however, not least when seeming to idle and allowing Money Money Money to mug him on the line here earlier, and he's closely matched with the latter on that running. But RED COURTIER makes more appeal than either of the aforementioned pair, as he met all kinds of trouble when fourth at Sandown last time. Up in trip and down in class today, Paul Cole's charge gets the nod. Saggiatore has the past form to figure and so does Goodwood winner Spice Fair with Lee Newnes claim putting him back on a winning mark.
