The in form Platinum Charmer is steadily moving up the wights but should still be capable of making it four wins in a row, Regency Red and Susiedil look to be the main rivals. Karl Burke's five-year-old gets a six pound penalty for last weeks victory over Jarvo at Bath, but that is offset by the jockey's seven pound claim. Also he did seem to have something left in the tank at the end of that contest and against this modest opposition he will take all the beating. Susiedil, a banded race winner in January, gets in here on bottom weight and following a promising effort last time should be involved here. Regency Red appears a better horse on the all-weather, but should still be capable of making his presence felt off his current mark. Top-weight Sovereign State looks the best of the remainder, but all in all it is a very weak affair and there doesn't appear much in the way of Platinum Charmer who can land the four-timer.
