In depth

Verdict

TAMASOU usually runs his race and looks the safest option. He scored at Warwick before going close again on the Polytrack last time and can confirm running with fifth-placed Al Muheer. Frequency won at Ayr recently but a 3lb rise makes this tougher while, despite a win at Pontefract last month, Hinton Admiral is still better on the Polytrack and looks on too high a mark on turf. Nufoudh and Gemma's Delight have place claims if at their best, but the remainder are hard to fancy.
