In depth
Verdict
Orchestra has become a little disappointing and is now tried in cheekpieces. Ithaca's Arrow has only won on Polytrack so far but hinted at a revival at Newbury last month and Oisin Murphy takes over the reins. LOUGHVILLE ran well on her reappearance over this trip at Sandown and will strip fitter today so gets the nod though Mantoog was only beaten a head by Truthful, who runs in the previous race, over track and trip in May and still has scope on Turf. Monty Bay has been running well over a mile but isn’t certain to appreciate the extra on breeding and Marie Laveau is having a first run of the campaign.
