Verdict

Leitrim House hasn't been seen out since Royal Ascot last season but goes well fresh and can win this decent event from Boogie Street and Yomalo. Brian Meehan's four-year-old started last campaign with two victories, the second in a Group three event at the Curragh. His two subsequent efforts were against top opponents and he may have too much class for these rivals. Boogie Street looks the pick of them having cleverly beaten Jimmy Ryan at Goodwood last time. He looks to be on the upgrade and can give our selection plenty to think about. Yomalo was very impressive when landing a Newmarket handicap off a big weight last time. She gets all the allowances here and should be in the shake up. Don Pele could prove to be the best of the others having shown plenty of promise on his racecourse return at Newbury, however Leitrim House wasn't too far short of the best last season and gets the verdict.
