Wardlaw^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 70

1/1

Runner-up twice in succession in small-field handicaps, including when staying this trip last time, and he's likely to find a race like this at some point, though the fact he's already been tried in 2 different types of headgear suggests he may not be one to go overboard about.

Form: 054-522

Reem Rak²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 70

2/1

Bounced back from a poor run in April to finish second of 9 in a handicap on soft going over 1½m at Ffos Las 22 days ago. Further step up in trip should suit and this looks a realistic chance of breaking her duck assuming she handles firmer ground.

La Tosca⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 60| BF

10/3

Minor progress when second of 8 at Ayr 7 days ago, looking well suited by the step up in trip in what probably wasn't the strongest of races, but she hails from an in-form yard and could well take another step forward in what will likely be a muddling affair.

Form: 43422

Forecasts

Wardlaw (1/1), Reem Rak (2/1), La Tosca (10/3)

REEM RAK progressed when upped significantly in trip last time and a further rise in distance should be fine for her so she looks the likeliest winner in what could prove a very muddling affair. Both the others are in good hands and could also play a leading role depending on how this unfolds.
