No representative from the Balding team but this could go the way of PHOTOGRAPHIC whose fifth at Newmarket when last seen reads fairly well. Barry Hills' filly won her first two starts this year before a good effort in defeat at York in May. She subsequently flopped at Ascot in the Sandringham Handicap but her latest start at Newmarket was more on the money. She races off the same mark of 94 today and if all is well following a two month break she should run well. Romany Princess was well-fancied last time out at Sandown but she failed to live up to expectations and the drop in trip needs to bring about some more improvement, Carcinetto is a game mare but her mark leaves little room for manoeuvring, whilst Enact's recent win at Nottingham came when she was taking advantage of her lowest mark for a while and a 7lb rise in the weights will make life tougher. Turning Top's recent win at Windsor puts her in the frame however the race panned out perfectly and although her claiming jockey negates her winners¿ penalty, the feeling is that she needs to improve again. Tropical Paradise and Silver Games have been holding their form well, whilst Mo Mhuirnin looks high enough in the weights following a successful Spring. An open race where narrow preference is for Photographic.
