In depth
Verdict
The frustrating Miss Giler had what looked an easier chance at Lingfield last time but could only manage third. TARTOOR makes more appeal as he was beaten less than a length over track and trip last time and is also preferred to Indian Monsoon, who shaped like a non-stayer when tailed off over 1m4f last time but had run well over today's trip at Ascot earlier. In Pursuit also drops back in distance after placing at Ripon while Catsbury is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Balty Boys and a newcomer to note.
