Rux Ruxx failed bidding for a hat-trick when beaten at Ascot last time though this looks less competitive. Caustic Love is another who missed out on a treble when only fourth at Carlisle while Kachumba is raised 5lb after scoring at Brighton and saves his best for the latter track. Novice winner Inhale will be sharper for last month’s reappearance and makes her handicap debut but PRAXIDICE is preferred. The latter has undergone wind surgery since placing over today’s trip at Carlisle and racing off a lower mark today, Karl Burke’s filly also makes more appeal than maiden winner Material Girl and Penny Pot Lane.
