Brillare Momento usually runs well here but didn’t get far on her latest visit and is now visored – she needs some help from the handicapper. Queen's Magic has spurned easier opportunities than this but Sensulano made a winning return to action at Ascot, though is no certainty to confirm that form with second Petticoat Tails and fourth Oscar Rose at the revised terms. Definitelyanoscar justified favouritism in a Warwick maiden last month but more would be required here with Ratoute Yutty probably having more scope. GIVEAWAY GLANCE did well to see off the in-form Mystic Sky over 2m at Ludlow as she’d won over 2m3f at Fontwell before that. She’s taken a step forward over hurdles this season and can complete her hat-trick.
