HAND OF GOD (8) bids for a hat-trick following a neck success in a class two 1m handicap at Sandown during April. Progressive and rates a serious player. OLD FAITHFUL (13) represents top trainer and jockey combination. The colt scored by a neck contesting a 1m2f premier handicap at Navan a fortnight ago. Rates highly. PORTSMOUTH (16) brings strong form when tackling undulating tracks. Provided a convincing Epsom victory in April before a pair of runner-up efforts at Goodwood and Epsom on Derby Day. Makes for plenty of appeal. APPROVAL (10) was off the mark at the fourth attempt contesting a 1m2f novice event at Windsor. May go well up in level.
