Tum Tum opened his account with a victory over a mile at Newcastle in April while Coverham scored over track and trip a fortnight ago but hasn’t had much luck with the draw today and had earlier been beaten by FULL INTENTION over today’s distance at Chelmsford. The latter has subsequently struggled over 6f in a higher grade at Ascot but is expected to finish much closer back at this level. Yimou drops to 7f for his handicap debut while Met By Moonlight won over 7f at Lingfield before a poor effort at Salisbury and gets first-time blinkers. Quick Breath had been threatening at Chelmsford back in April but has lost his way recently.
