In depth
Verdict
Libre showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces at Nottingham and can land what is not a strong event. Miss Issy has been raised four pounds for being touched off at Warwick but holds chances. Old Bailey is fairly lightly raced but, the only course winner in the race, cannot be ruled out of things. Luke After Me, who is also lightly-raced, could fare better back on turf and the market might provide the best guide to his chances. Don't rule out Molotov, who has not raced too often on turf or at this trip, in a race that will not take a lot of winning.
