The usual competitive renewal and connections will be hoping Atty Persse returns to action in the same sort of form as when winning the King George V handicap at Ascot last year though he’s been gelded subsequently and is 6lb higher today. Stablemate Blakeney Point could figure with a apprentice’s allowance in his favour while Teodoro won easily over 1m4f at Newbury last time but Society Red steps up in trip after scoring at York. Golden Wolf and Across The Stars are usually thereabouts without winning while Crowned Eagle represents last year’s winning yard. Sofia's Rock may prove best of Mark Johnston’s four runners ahead of Titi Makfi as the latter finished behind third-placed WINGINGIT in a Listed race at Pontefract last month and it’s Andrew Balding’s filly that gets a speculative vote back in a handicap for the first time in over a year.
