In depth

Verdict

MARY OF MODENA missed out on a hat-trick when only third over 6f at Windsor. But it was soft going on that occasion and she looks worth another chance back on the Polytrack having also won over this shorter trip earlier. Wrought Iron has won twice over 6f this summer and has finished ahead of Glasstrees this summer while Madame Fenella is another dropping back down in trip having won at Kempton back in March. Imperial Khan finished in front of Ballistic Berry at Ripon last week but needs a bit more off his current mark.
