Plenty of pressure from Dame Of Trix, Marketa and Amen Corner battling for the lead over Victor Hugo. RATTLESNAKE (9) is in great form this campaign, winning this trip fresh before running on hard over six furlongs last time. Tricky gate but fit and in form and expected to go close. DEMANDING DAVE (8) dropped back to this trip here last time and led throughout to win with ease, claiming maiden success. Freshened and now off the mark will take catching again. WORLDLY (1) is another who scored an overdue win last time. Well weighted here with the claim and can measure up again. AMEN CORNER (7) ran below expectations fresh here over 1000m. Much better than that. Fitter and has placed only try second-up so gets chance to atone.
