      Verdict

      MAMOO started handicapping off a 7lb higher mark and posted his best effort so far when runner-up over today’s trip at Newmarket last month. He could go one better in this given Blushes takes a big step up in distance on the back of a second over a mile at Windsor and Cornelious is another with something to prove over 1m4f. But Saint Thomas won over track and trip in July and is only 2lb higher for this. He has the beating of Percys Princess on that form and can also figure.
