        Verdict

        Masafi has been superbly placed by Sir Mark Prescott and the winning run can't last forever, but the way he is going we can't see it ending today, and he is taken to land this decent prize from A Woman In Love, Voice Mail and Katiypour. Masafi has gone up 24lb for seven successive wins, since landing a Class F handicap at Southwell less than a month ago and shows no signs of being reeled in by the handicapper judged on another excellent effort to win over nine furlongs at Carlisle last time. His 10 furlong success here, which was the third of that magnificent seven, shows he handles this often difficult track and we will continue to follow him here. If he is to falter, then the one to take advantage could well be Katiypour. The Brooke Sanders-trained gelding took a Class E handicap here over course and distance in May and was not far way off a 3lb higher mark at Windsor next time. A good performance at Epsom over 10 furlongs behind Cristoforo, who has come out and won again since, looks decent form, and he can go very close. Stablemate A Woman In Love is another who has been going well this summer, including three wins here. She looks a different proposition on these twists and turns and she we anticipate that she will be thereabouts once again. Of the remainder Voice Mail makes most appeal. Andrew Balding's charge is consistent from a mile up to 10 furlongs, handles the ground well and will be staying on up the hill here. He can also make his presence felt, but in a pretty hot race for the track we will stay on the Masafi bandwagon, which should just keep rolling along.
