In depth
Verdict
A massive pot has attracted five entries from the UK including Signora Camacho from a yard that has enjoyed significant success in Ireland. A dual nursery winner, she was just touched off in a York handicap earlier this month. Richard Hannon's Miami Girl has won twice in small fields this summer and wasn't beaten far in a Salisbury Group 3 at the beginning of the month. Tom Dascombe sends dual nursery winner Felix Natalis over to take his chance but Doncaster novice winner Parr Fire will need to show major improvement. Richard Fahey's Minnesota Lad didn't appear to enjoy Tapeta at Newcastle after scoring at Beverley. POLAR BEAR looked like winning a Navan nursery but was caught in the final strides He wore a first-time visor that day, which has been retained, and compensation awaits.
