Bague D'or won at Newmarket with Caldwell less than a length behind in third but Dancing Harry just prevailed when winning by a short-head at Salisbury. Reverend Hubert is best over a longer trip and a couple of the three-year-olds are preferred as they step up in distance. The 1m4f runner-up Berkshire Breeze makes his handicap debut while INVERNESS was set a stiff task in a Heritage Handicap here on his handicap bow and is fancied to go close in this representing last year’s winning yard.
