Race preview

RATHBONE was a comfortable two-and-a-half-length victor in this grade at Sandown last time and he was raised 7lb for that. The seven-year-old struck off a mark of 90 in July last year, so he is still well treated and can record a double. The main threat might be Speedacus, who finished a close-up fourth at Newmarket and was dropped 2lb. Of the remainder, Abate and Temple Bruer make some appeal.
