In depth
Verdict
Pot Of Paint ran a couple of solid races here last month and will be hard to keep out of the frame again. Dancing Approach won a lesser contest over course and distance nine days ago and should also be in the firing-line while handicap debutant Red Missile has been gelded since last year. NASHY is bred for middle-distances so expect massive improvement over this trip after he failed to quicken over 1m2f at Kempton a month ago. Iron Heart was staying on when fourth at Goodwood so looks the pick of the remainder.
