Verdict
Cartmell Cleave won over 6f at Newmarket recently and is upped 5lb while Stake Acclaim was placed over 6f at Windsor on his latest start. Gamesome usually manages to find at least one too good off similar marks and the same applies to Shipyard while Seeking Magic has struggled since dead-heating for first at Goodwood in May. Chelsmford winner Shamshon needs a bit more at this level so a chance is taken on STEPPER POINT bouncing back to form having slipped 14lb down the weights since winning a Group 2 sprint at the Curragh last year. Excellent George, Ziggy Lee and Secret Asset all won last month but have something to prove in this grade.
