Race preview
Tony Carroll saddles four in a contest he won in 2015 and the best of his quartet look to be course-and-distance scorer De Vegas Kid, twice a winner this term, and the consistent Poetic Force. Duchess Of Avon has made the podium on both outings since scoring over track and trip in June and looks to be still fairly treated. However, preference is for MAJESTIC MAC, who went close over seven furlongs at Newbury last time and wasn't beaten far when tried over this C&D earlier in the season. The Cape Cross gelding is just 1lb higher than his latest silver medal and has a great chance of making it back-to-back wins in this contest for Hughie Morrison and Charlie Bennett.
