A fierce looking handicap. Harry Eustace won this two years ago and may do so once more with LA BOTTE (2). He raced on the wing when a promising fourth behind the subsequent G1 Irish 2000 Guineas second in the Listed King Charles II Stakes at Newmarket and will relish stepping up to 1600m making handicap debut. Form of a FIFTH COLUMN (27) success at Sandown looks solid. Respect up 3kg with first-time cheekpieces applied. Ralph Beckett trains CONSOLIDATION (12) who stayed on well managing to get up late over 1400m at Goodwood last time out. Expected to enjoy this stiffer stamina test. TEROOMM (8) holds sound claims having provided a winning handicap debut tackling 1600m at Haydock. PAROLE D'ORO (26) also merits consideration.
