Cabinet Of Clowns won at Newmarket a fortnight ago and Crystal Casque scored at the same track last time. Canoodled placed at HQ back in May while Island Bandit won at Goodwood recently and Global Esteem won this back in 2021 and has been successful off higher marks subsequently. Sly Madam was narrowly beaten at Windsor and is preferred to Painters Palette but MARS MAGIC ran out of steam close home at Wolverhampton on his debut for a new yard. He’ll be sharper for that reappearance and can improve further now handicapping.
