Imishvalla has rattled up a hat-trick at Pontefract over the last month but is going to find this a lot tougher with another 6lb to carry on ground softer than ideal. Zain Empire was beaten less than a length at Newmarket earlier this month and is still heading in the right direction but Hatsaway races over 1m for the first time and Grevillea looks worth opposing again. Torrid is making a belated reappearance but there are possibilities about Basem, Man Of Harlech and BEACH BAR who have had a mid-season break. The latter represents a yard in good form and he looked a real mudlark at Haydock in June. The booking of Ryan Moore is a positive so he gets the vote.
