In depth

Verdict

Bringitonboris has gained all of his four victories on artificial surfaces on this track and was only just over a length behind Menai Bridge over track and trip three weeks ago. The winner will be 4lb worse off so there should be little in it again. Runner-up GALIAC is closely matched with the pair of them but looked like winning when leading 1f out and his rider may hang on to him a bit longer this time. Sip And Smile won the first two races of his career over 6f here and hasn't been back subsequently. He scored over 7f at Doncaster in May but hasn't really proved he stays this far. Don't Tell Claire has gradually improved this summer and ran a cracking race in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot last time, a race she won last season.
