      Verdict

      Venturous can race off a lower mark back on Turf but the fast ground is a worry for him while Caspian Prince finished in front of both Justanotherbottle and MOKAATIL at Musselburgh recently though none of that trio looked like winning. But much better is expected from the latter on this occasion given Ian Williams’ charge won the last renewal of this in 2019 off today’s mark and he gets a speculative vote to come good again. Mondammej is upped in class after finishing second at Newcastle while Indian Sounds returns to action 9lb higher than when last successful.
