MISTER FIZZBOMB, Tender Moments and Fossgate look nailed on to run big races whilst we can also expect Sagarich to show why her price halved last time out. Mister Fizzbomb earns the vote courtesy of his excellent track record and the fact that his penalty for his win at Musselburgh is nearly wholly negated by his rider's claim; he's also well drawn should they choose to make the running again and he could be hard to keep out of the frame. Fossgate's rating had tumbled but he's been nursed back to form by his handler and has taken full advantage of late; his course record isn't far behind that of the selection and he's sure to have plenty of supporters. Sagarich is on a very attractive mark judged on her Irish form but she failed to capitalise on that when well backed at Newmarket on her second Flat start for this yard but this longer trip may see her in a better light which could also turn out to be the case with Fell Pack too but he seems to lack gears. Tender Moments is weighted to finish in front of Fossgate on their course and distance running at the end of July whilst Shekan Star is holding her form well at present but looks held by the handicapper unlike the dangerously well handicapped pair Fenners and Amical Risks. The latter is thrown in on his best form and ran a race full of promise on his return to action but course specialist Mister Fizzbomb may have the upper hand.
