Verdict

GOLDEN PROPHET (2) settled back over the mile fresh but found the line strongly in an eye-catching return. Will relish the extra ground and goes well here and second-up. Claim helps and looks tough to stop. DON'T GIVE UP (4) is a speedy type in good form including a gritty last start win over 1 5/16m. Take catching again. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (5) was a winner here two back before a narrow defeat at Lonny. Yet to race beyond the mile but looks well placed here and will be prominent throughout. Can give a sight. JUST A NEEDS (1) is fitter for two runs back and looks ready to step back out in journey now. Expecting sharp improvement. STEEL MIST (6) has been thereabouts lately but looks suited back out in trip and is attractively weighted with the claim.
