Race Summary
JUNIOR MASSINI has thrived since going chasing and the manner of his latest success at Newton Abbot strongly suggested that this 5lb higher mark would be well within reach. He is taken to complete the four-timer, perhaps at the chief expense of Miss Antipova, who has yet to taste success but she hit the crossbar on each of her last 4 starts and should remain competitive. Carlo du Berlais is third choice ahead of Deadly Missile.

Race Summary
INCHESTER D’AMSYL underperformed on his Southwell handicap debut back in April, but it remains very early days and he’s worth another chance having shown clear promise in his qualifying runs prior to that. Blazing Court may progress again now venturing into handicaps over a longer trip, while One Man Party is another who could have a say if building on his latest effort.
