Verdict

Great White Shark is likely to be warming up for the Cesarewitch, which she won last year, while Camphor has disappointed this season though she generally goes well here. The latter's stable companion Sacred Rhyme has a bit more scope than most of these though her only success came in soft ground and though Merroir has been running well all season she's stepping up markedly in grade. HAPARANDA is top rated here and can get back to winning ways in a race that isn't much better than a handicap with her third at this level at Roscommon in June probably good enough.
