Mime Dance’s win on Polytrack in April was his first in almost three years and he’s still 3lb higher. Christine Dunnett used to be a regular sight in the winner’s enclosure here but not recently so Percy Toplis is best watched. Lord Murphy has won three times on the all-weather but two runs on Turf have offered no encouragement. Andrea Atzeni is probably a significant jockey booking for RACEHORSE, who runs in his first seller. A winner at Wetherby last month, he was too keen on a return visit and is capable of better.
