Lone newcomer makes a very belated debut. Son of Observatory out of a tough 1m4f winner is best watched.

Edinburgh Castle³⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

5/4

No match for an odds-on Mark Johnston trained previous winner now rated 100 on debut but his second there at Bath nevertheless was promising and he is now a leading contender.

Form: 2-

Manucci¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett

14/1

Sixth of seven at Ascot and seventh of 11 at Salisbury so far suggest this gelding the sort to be better suited by handicaps after today.

Form: 67

Memphis Bleek^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 74

6/1

Well beaten third over 1m½f here in handicap company latest off a mark of 75. Looks too high for such races so probably fare better here but may again find one or two too strong.

Form: 6-63453

Shattering¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: P & O Cole

33/1

Only beaten one rival so far in two races and beaten a total of 29L in them which relegates him to the best avoided list.

Form: 89

Roving Mission¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 70

5/4

Second albeit beaten 8L at Salisbury after showing some promise earlier when fourth at Ffos Las. On the shortlist in a weak race.

Forecasts

Edinburgh Castle (5/4), Roving Mission (5/4), Memphis Bleek (6/1), Manucci (14/1), Shattering (33/1), Big Bang (33/1), Dereham (50/1)

This looks an excellent opportunity for EDINBURGH CASTLE who finished second on debut to a smart sort and that form looks standout in this race. Roving Mission is preferred to Memphis Bleek and on all known form the duo should be the other place getters.
