Oscar's Ridge represents the powerful Gosden yard but will need to be above average on his debut up against Mainsail Atlantic and Profound, rated 81 and 80 respectively. Both of that pair step up in trip today and the latter makes a belated seasonal debut so it could pay to take a chance on LACUSTRE. She finished runner-up over course and distance last month with a subsequent winner behind and could go close with any further progress. Jazz Walk and Baileys Artist were both well beaten on their debut runs but today’s extra distance is expected to suit the former.
