Ryan Moore has a strong book of rides on today’s card including DOCUMENTING. The latter won this in 2019 and can reverse running with last year’s winner, Highland Dress, as the latter hasn’t raced since June having subsequently switched yards. Lord Of The Lodge scored under today’s apprentice at the All-Weather Championships back in April and returns to the Polytrack for the first time since while Spycatcher won over 6f at Newmarket last month but has something to prove over today’s trip. Orbaan and Ostilio look up against it on these terms.
