Both HARROVIAN and Country make their handicap debuts having landed the odds over 1m2f on their respective latest starts. Both are also fitted with headgear for the first time but the latter may need some luck in-running from a high draw and John Gosden’s colt could just edge this. Deal A Dollar hasn’t raced since returning a beaten favourite at Newcastle in May and wears a tongue-tie today while Aktau also returns from a lay-off having found the useful Pondus too good the last twice. An import from France, Yellow Tiger won a maiden for Mark Johnston before switching yards again while the latter runs three with Sapa Inca, who won in soft going at Newbury earlier, preferred. Silvestre De Sousa prefers Windsor winner Fox Vardy to Top Power while Jersey Wonder also scored in a lower grade at Windsor last time.
