Having doubled his tally at Lingfield in June, MEBLESH matched that level when third in a stronger race at Ascot 2 weeks ago, shaping well from further back than ideal. He remains one to be interested in and earns the vote operating from the same mark. Narmar and Asteverdi are others to consider, with Let's Dream another to consider eased in class.
