See The Master bids for the hat-trick after victories last month at Chepstow and Nottingham. His stable took this last year so he’s expected to go well. Frank Bridge has a very respectable strike-rate and the return to a mile won’t faze the recent Epsom winner but MATHS PRIZE (NAP) looks the one to be on as he’s been toiling away on fast surfaces this season and will much better suited by today’s softer going. Eltezam is better than this season’s form figures would suggest but there are stamina concerns this evening.
