Toy Top gets our nomination in another tight handicap for punters to call, with Mormeatmic and Ascot Lady taken to chase her home. The selection is rising in the weights but she may still be one step ahead of the handicapper based on her win at Windsor last time when she beat Jakeini. She has ground conditions to suit and she stands out as the one to beat. Moremeatmic is another in good form at present but on a form line through Jakeini he looks to have a bit to find to beat our selection. Ascot Lady has got some fair form in France but she has never raced on ground as quick as this so far that reason she can't be backed with too much confidence. Peter Island ran respectably at Warwick last time and is visored today so this colt is certainly worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Toy Top.
