Mark Johnston has a good record in this and Making Miracles is preferred of his three runners with Ryan Moore taking over the reins having won at Haydock last time. But he’d earlier finished well behind runner-up Corgi in the King George V Handicap at Ascot and the latter had earlier beaten INFRASTRUCTURE a length over 1m2f at Sandown. However, Martyn Meade’s charge is fancied to reverse running in this as he went on to score over today’s trip at Salisbury and third-placed Drill has subsequently boosted that form with a win at Newmarket. Polish won a novices race over 1m4f before finding Bombyx, rated 98, too good at Doncaster and makes his handicap debut while Desert Wind also has a shout stepping up in trip today and is preferred to Bartholomeu Dias.
