Lion Hearted has been well placed to notch up a four-timer and Mark Crehan’s allowance negates half of a 14lb hike in the weights. He should go close again but is taken on today with KADRIZZI, who has tumbled down the weights and went close in a higher grade over today’s trip at Chelmsford last time. Arlecchino's Leap landed a hat-trick over a mile before beaten over track and trip a fortnight ago but Gabrial The Tiger scored over course and distance recently and is only 2lb higher. The Establishment won over 6f here last time and is worth another try over this extra furlong.
