    In depth

    Verdict

    Tuco is usually in the mix in these events but keeps finding at least one too good. She has a bit in hand with BRUTUS on handicap ratings but the latter was making his seasonal debut when behind Tigers Tale in a tough handicap over track and trip last week and the Hannon colt is expected to be sharper for this. Franklin D also has claims after an improved effort on the all-weather though that was back in April and Bastille Day has the more recent form with a fourth at Newbury on his debut. Tawdeea made only a modest start at Newmarket last year and Mizzen Head has a tough task on his introduction.
