In depth

Verdict

Embour won over track and trip at the start of the month when beating Equitation and third-placed ICE AGE. But the latter is fancied to make up the length deficit on more favourable terms and gets the vote in a wide-open sprint. Molls Memory bids for a hat-trick having also beaten Equitation over course and distance last month but Second Collection landed a lower grade contest here on her latest start. Open Wide beat Sunsprite at the track on his penultimate outing while Belated Breath scored here back in May. Royal Birth and Free Love were both successful over the minimum trip here last time but Shamshon is penalised for winning over 5f at Newmarket just two days ago
