A disappointing turnout and the three-year-old Litigious will likely be a short-priced favourite, though she was only third off this mark at Salisbury when making her handicap debut. ASOOF has only raced over 1m4f once before and hasn’t run since February but she was contesting Group 2 races in Dubai at the start of the year and Cieren Fallon takes off a valuable 5lb in this – fitness isn’t usually an issue for one from her yard. Makawee won over this trip at York in May but is now 18lb higher with Maybe Today looking better treated
