PHARMACEUTICAL is creeping closer and found only Liberty Jack too good at Epsom last time. He is preferred to Goodwood winner Easy Tiger, who was well beaten upped into Class 3 company at Sandown last time. Black Dave saves his best for the all-weather nowadays but Mystical Sapphire has slid down the weights and may get involved. Modern Tutor is another on the slide while Beach Bar scored on the Turf at Lingfield off a similar mark back in May.
