Verdict

Richard Hannon complicates matters by saddling three of the seven runners but none of the trio of Oro Verde, Vienna's Boy or Presto Shinko makes as much appeal as Molcon, who gets the verdict. Neville Callaghan's gelding looked unlikely to get a run at Ascot last time but was produced in time by Johnny Murtagh to land a more competitive contest than this by half-a-length from Ask The Clerk. A 4lb rise for that is perfectly fair and the son of Danetime is taken to follow up with Dominic Fox on board taking off a valuable 5lbs. Presto Shinko had little chance from a bad draw at Chester earlier in the week and makes marginally more appeal than the other two Hannon runners, while of the remainder, Jamie Osborne's Morse is becoming expensive to follow and a bigger threat may come from Star Pupil. The latter hails from a stable beginning to hit form but he needs to improve to trouble Molcon, who is taken to follow up his Ascot success.
