A tough race to close the card and the vote goes to SANTEFISIO who is preferred to George Thisby and Zero Money. The selection made up plenty of ground from off the pace to score at Lingfield last time when he beat Secret Witness. He was good value for his winning margin that day and he remains unexposed so there should be plenty more to come. George Thisby has been in good form of late and he posted a good effort when second behind Getcarter here last month. That was over 6f but he is equally at home over this trip and he should go well. Zero Money beat Wotasparkler at Leicester back in May to shed his maiden tag, but he has not been seen out since. He is making his handicap debut but he looks to have been given a fair mark and if he is sharp enough to do himself justice then he could go close. It is interesting that his stablemate Block Party is ridden by Ryan Moore, but the drop in trip is not sure to play to his strengths today. All About You hails from a yard in good form and the soft ground could have been an excuse for a below-par effort last time. Secret Hero won last time out but he all-out to score and this looks more competitive. There are plenty in with chances and the vote goes to Santefisio.
