In depth
Verdict
Jonny Levins has three entries in this huge field with Tai Sing Yeh probably the best of them after his two victories this season and a fine run at the Curragh last time. Chagall makes a quick reappearance after beating a huge field at Cork on Sunday and a 9lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort. Miacomet has never won but has been running really well at a similar level and her latest run at the Curragh suggests she's ready to break her duck. TIDE OF TIME landed a Down Royal handicap in June and has run very well in better company subsequently. He has plenty of weight but will be very difficult to keep out of the frame on recent form.
