Verdict

Markaz Paname has to carry a penalty for a Group 3 victory over 7f here in April. He found an extended 7f on soft ground too much in a Tipperary Group 3 three weeks ago. Pretty Rebel, well beaten on her Listed debut here, looks a handicapper at best but Lustown Baba wasn't beaten far at this level here a fortnight ago. Craft Irish completed a double when landing a 5f handicap on soft ground here while Big Gossey and Gustavus Weston are both three-times winners here though this level looks a bit too tough. MOSS TUCKER (NAP) has won twice this season and was only just beaten in a Listed contest at Tipperary. He ran another fine race in the Prix D'labbaye at Longchamp and can return to winning ways
