Verdict

Marmalady, Steelriver and the returning Zhiggy's Stardust are all upped in class having won their latest outings. Mission Approved is perfectly capable of going close at this level but is proving hard to win with and returned a losing favourite once again at Ascot last time. A visor replaces cheekpieces on recent Ffos Las third Secondo and he can figure but COUNTER RIDGE (NAP) is preferred. Marco Botti's mare is having only her third start of the year having just failed to catch Shore Step at Doncaster last time - he also makes more appeal than the dropped-in-class Pipers Note.
