Snow Bay is starting to look well handicapped but Ian Williams' pair Sam Sharp and Postscript have already won around here and may well prove the pick of the older horses as Mirrored only won a claimer at Carlisle last month. But there are some promising three-year-olds facing the starter including Famous Poet, who bounced back to winning ways on the Polytrack at Kempton last time, and RAZORBILL. Ryan Moore takes the ride on Charles Hills' colt who ran Asatir to a head over this trip at Windsor on his penultimate start before finding 1m2f too far in better company at Newmarket. He's the one to beat on that form.
