Perotto would appreciate faster ground though still finished in front of Escobar at Goodwood last time and had the measure of Silent Film when scoring at Sandown earlier. But the going isn’t a problem for EMPIRESTATEOFMIND (NAP) who finished a close-up fifth over track and trip a fortnight ago and should make a bold bid with Frankie doing the steering. The Wizard Of Eye could go well but Positive Impact hasn’t raced since February but first reserve Bear Force One would have a shout if lining-up.
