Verdict

A highly competitive Pembroke Cup with the progressive pair RIGOLETTO and Surrey Hope set to lock horns once more after their clash at HQ in June. The Joseph Tuite trained three-year-old went into that particular contest firmly on the upgrade, but possibly found the ground softer than ideal and was beaten 3+L by Luca Cumani's Yarmouth maiden winner. 6lb revised terms should bring the pair closer together and Surrey Hope might have been fancied to extract his revenge on faster ground, but with rain lurking just about everywhere at the moment, he'd be a risky proposition should any significant totals fall upon this part of Wiltshire. Of the others, this is far tougher for both Kryptos and Dragons Voice, but as potential further improvers, one would be be foolish to readily state that they'd not be up to the task.
