Verdict
Tanmawwy has failed to figure since completing an earlier double but Prontissimo may improve given he’s undergone wind surgery since fourth at Ascot in May and is also fitted with additional headgear. But BERGERAC has the best recent form having placed in both starts since returning to a winning mark, including a length defeat at Newmarket last time. Kevin Ryan’s charge gets the vote in first-time blinkers.
