Modest fare but just the type of contest used by Sir Mark Prescott to build up steadily progressive performers, in this case ANNA MEDICI. The Sir Percy filly came good at the fifth time of asking at Chelmsford and should be more than good enough if proving equally effective - or indeed better - now attentions are turned to Turf. Masquerade Bling is respected on this first run for a new yard but has done most of his racing on artificial surfaces in the past year and Commanche may be a bigger danger as he's consistent at this level. Charlie Chaplin is worth a market check as he makes a return to action after an absence dating back to last November when a disappointing favourite but is still unexposed.
