There are admittedly risks involved with POCKET THE PROFIT given his propensity to miss the kick, but the ability is there if things drop right and 7f on this stiff track with conditions likely to be in his favour make the 3-y-o a tempting proposition. It's worth noting that he wasn't beaten far under Ryan Moore in a Class 2 handicap here off a 2 lb higher mark during the spring. The upwardly mobile Astral Beau is greatly respected, while Justcallmepete and Riot are others to consider.
