In depth
Verdict
Calm Attitude is upped 4lb for winning in soft ground at Newmarket and will enjoy the conditions while both Arantes and Silver Dixie step up in class having won lower grade handicaps at Epsom last month. ILLUSIVE makes more appeal on his recent second at Goodwood as this looks less competitive and James Doyle takes over from an apprentice. Berrahri won nicely at Chester last time but has been raised 8lb while Heartless and Tunnel Creek are recent maiden winners with plenty of scope.
