In depth

Verdict

Cottesloe scored easily at Lingfield last time but has had 27 starts now and will need his best effort so far to defy a 9lb rise. KALLISHA is less exposed and drops in class off a 4lb lower mark after modest efforts at Sandown and Ascot this season. Brendan Powell's filly may come good again in this while Excellent Puck is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Newmarket on his seasonal bow back in May. Man Look is upped in class and Cranach has not raced since 2013.
