Verdict
Topmeup has won her last two and will handle conditions. She’s a model of consistency but now on a career-high mark so might struggle to complete the hat-trick. Robbie Roo Roo has also been in good form but she’s done most of her winning so far on the all-weather and has been found wanting when tried on soft ground in the past. AIR OF YORK has won twice On Turf and six times on the all-weather. He has a penalty for a recent success at Bath but is still well treated on past form and stepping back up in distance shouldn’t be a problem. Last month’s Brighton winner Intimately looks held on that Bath run.
