7/4
Winner here over 6f and not suited by the steady pace when beaten last time. That prompts a switch to this longer trip and he would be expected to be in the firing line with his yard going well.

9/4
Scored over this trip at Redcar and held her own in a sales race at Newmarket. Out of her depth in Listed company last time and she has obvious claims at this level.

Landed two races for Tom Dascombe before joining this yard having landed a seller. Goes well here but stamina is unproven and others look stronger.

Has proved inconsistent this term and he looks held by Our Man In Havana on running at Haydock this summer.

Improved performance last time when tackling this trip and making her handicap debut. Stable continue to go well but she is up 2lb and taking on better horses here.

Verdict

A pretty good race for the grade with Newbury winner Picture No Sound topping the weights. He travelled for a long way that day but soft ground appeared to suit him. Central City and Our Man In Havana have winning form here and step up in trip. That would appear to favour Central City who got tapped for speed in a falsely run race last time. Havana Mariposa and Reverberation produced career bests last time and may need to do so again on a quicker surface. As a result the vote goes to ESCAPE THE CITY who drops in class having run in Listed company last time. Hugh Morrison's filly had gone well in a sales race at Newmarket over an inadequate trip on her penultimate start. That form looks good enough for this having opened her account over this distance at Redcar.
