Verdict
Hero's Story won at Hamilton last time with Mystic Princess back in fourth but is harder to fancy raised 5lb as that was his first success in 23 attempts. AZAMESSE is less exposed and has slipped 10lb down the weights since June. The Irish filly can make amends having returned a losing favourite at Hamilton last month. Silver Shuffle went close at Catterick during the week and Schmooze was placed at Hamilton off a similar mark on her penultimate start. Sinakar is one to keep an eye on now handicapping.
