Verdict
Out Do was last seen in action finishing down the field in the Wokingham at Ascot and Tupi slips further down the weights after struggling in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood. Mazzini returns to today’s trip having placed over 7f recently and Polybius may also do better back over 6f today after returning a losing favourite over the minimum trip at Ascot. But RECKLESS ENDEAVOUR tends to save his best for the all-weather and can race off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield back in February. Headgear is applied for the first time and Jamie Osborne’s charge may well return to form.
