Verdict

PRIDE OF NEPAL is in the form of his life and can defy another 6 lb rise to complete the 5-timer. Recent Goodwood winner Damascus Steel and I'd Go Maniac are next on the shortlist.

5	Notched his fourth consecutive win (last 2 under this rider) since switching back to turf when making light of a 48-hour turnaround in a 12-runner handicap at Ripon (1½m, good to firm, 9/4) 28 days ago.
