Verdict
The day's feature looks a tricky puzzle to solve. Haley Bop proved himself suited by this trip at Musselburgh but has 6lb more to carry in a more competitive affair. Nimr is tried in a tongue-tie having only been beaten a neck over course and distance on his reappearance. Reunited with Frankie, Richard Fahey's charge should go well despite a 4lb rise. Tukhoom doesn't look badly treated on his defeat of a 76-rated rival at Goodwood and has only had two runs. There should be more to come but HORNSBY (NAP) was third to Galileo Gold at Haydock a little under a year ago and that form hasn't turned out badly. The Dubawi colt was giving 3lb that day to the subsequent dual Group 1 winner so may be the pick of the weights today. Storm Rising is looking exposed and is now blinkered while Red Artist may not last home over this longer trip.
