The majority of winners of this handicap in recent years have been aged 5+, but DOUBLE RUSH is clearly a sprinter on the up and is taken to strike for the Classic generation. The form of the Newmarket race he won in April has worked out well and he did well under the circumstances back from a break at York last month, leaving the strong impression that there is better to come. Jonny Concrete also performed with great credit on the Knavesmire last time and he is next on the list ahead of Nariko.
