Verdict

John Gosden has plenty of chances on tonight’s card and HAMEEM is another expected to go close in this company. She ended last year with a double, including a course and distance success in September, and is only 3lb higher on her return. C'Est No Mour has the more recent form with a second at Windsor while The Pinto Kid won over today’s trip before placing over 1m6f at Chelmsford on his return to action. Rake's Progress was placed on the July course here last year but Medalla De Oro would prefer some cut. Blazing Saddles may improve with headgear fitted for the first time.
