This seller has attracted a bumper entry but few appeal on the book. Only Hope's third to Driving Miss Suzie at Uttoxeter at the start of the month is probably the best recent form on offer but she continues to climb the weights and is still a maiden after 42 career starts on the Flat and over timber. Ice Bellini returned from a long absence to finish second at Stratford and should go well, while Charmeur drops into this grade for the first time. Art Man has claims at the weights if fully wound-up for his first start since February, as has Hollies Favourite, but we'll take a chance on WATCH OUT, who will have needed last month's run here and looks nicely treated on his run over this trip at Warwick earlier in the year.
