Go with Geezer
Trainer David Elsworth wasted no time in getting the three-year-old colt back on track after the Derby, and he was an unlucky-in-running third in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot at York.
He then followed that encouraging run up with a workmanlike victory in a Pattern race at Haydock last time out.
What is more, The Geezer will not be inconvenienced if conditions at the Sussex track continue to soften by any excessive rainfall.
The son of Halling won a small prize at Newbury on good to soft ground, before finishing second behind Motivator when the going was soft in the Dante Stakes.
If the chestnut gets a clear run, he possesses the turn of foot to make light work of a small but select field, that includes John Dunlop’s progressive charge Unfurled.
Geoff Wragg’s Autumn Glory is difficult to oppose in the Group Three Betfair Cup Lennox Stakes after winning the first Group race held on the all-weather at Lingfield last time out.
This looks a good opportunity to rack up a notable double.
