Verdict

Pointillism has thrived since his switch to a new yard and could be progressive enough to pick up another win before the season is out. Tamayuz Magic is performing consistently at the moment but looks held by the handicapper, and the same could be said of Icefall, who was out of his depth in the Melrose last time. ALL ABOUT TIME could be the answer here as she is relatively lightly-raced and didn’t have the clearest of runs when fourth at Ripon back in June. This step up to 1m4f should suit her and she can take this for her in-form trainer. Swaheen is on an exploitable mark and could be a value each-way bet.
