In depth

Verdict

Recent winners Magari and Ben Kenobi could fight out the finish here with the first named just edging the decision, Witchcraft may do best of the remainder. Mark Brisbourne's filly hit form with a vengeance, comfortably landing a Redcar seller last time. This race looks to be slightly weaker and back to back victories look a distinct possibility. Ben Kenobi caused a bit of a shock when winning at Chepstow last time, beating Got To Be Cash in a driving finish. If that wasn't a flash in the pan he should be there or thereabouts. Witchcraft chased home the fifty rated Farnborough back in June and may have needed his recent spin here. He should strip much fitter this afternoon and could reward each-way support. Russalka appears to be coming back to form and looks the pick of the others, but on reflection Magari looks the safest prospect.
