In depth

Verdict

Twelve runners go to post with barely any weight between top and bottom. George Stubbs ran a career best in the The Mail On Sunday/Tote Mile Final at Ascot at odds of 40/1. He won't be that price today and with Paul Cole's team in fine form, he is given the TEAMtalk nod at minimal stakes. He looks to have most to fear from Yorker. James Eustace's charge has dropped to an attractive mark and the stable has been posting some notable successes of late. Bathwick Bruce has been in good form on the soft and makes her debut on the surface. Pietro Siena's and Twilight Mistress have shown their best form over shorter trips and are best watched for any market inspiration.
