Verdict

Most have some sort of chance in this. CHARLIE ARTHUR gets the nod as he hasn’t done a lot wrong since winning over 1m4f at Thirsk in May but Night Bear disappointed here after winning at Haydock. Daphne May slips further down the ratings but has never won beyond a mile and stamina may also be an issue for Pride Of Hawridge. Magical Mile beat a subsequent winner at Windsor in June but has failed to reproduce that form in two starts since. Opticality is best watched making her debut on this surface.
