Verdict

Casanova has 5lb to find on official ratings with stable companion Saltonstall but arrives in better form though further rain could swing things in favour of the latter, who won a Listed contest on heavy ground last autumn in the process of completing a hat-trick. Roca Roma also likes plenty of give and found an extended 7f too short in a Tipperary Group 3 last time so it will be a surprise if she isn't in the frame. The three-year-old Visualisation, runner-up in a one mile Royal Ascot handicap, had a couple of months off before returning with a fair effort in a Curragh Group 3 but finished behind FINANS BAY that day. Michael Halford's charge then ran a cracking race in a premier handicap on the same track so gets the nod in a very competitive race in which the lightly-raced and progressive Tazaral is another with claims.
