TAO TE CHING makes her handicap and Turf debut on a potentially lenient mark. Her second run at Kempton was a massive improvement on her first effort and she gets cheekpieces here. Kesarina and Tajamhor are other unexposed fillies with scope now handicapping and Punting, Dutch Painting and Vischio are among the more experienced with solid each-way claims. Rock Of Fame is in danger of becoming disappointing, however, while Walkonby was well beaten in a three-runner race last time.
Walkonby 5-6fav (9-2) Close up in 3rd, pushed along 3f out, no impression and beaten over 1f out, eased, last of 3, 26 1/4l behind Kepala (9-0) at Newmarket 1m 4f hcp fll (3) gf in Jun.
Punting (IRE) 13-2 (8-12) Raced keenly, tracked leader until halfway, chased leaders, ridden and unable to quicken over 1f out, plugged on pressing for modest 3rd, 4th of 8, 6 1/4l behind Award Scheme (9-1) at Salisbury 1m 2f hcp fll (4) gf in Jul.
Dutch Painting 40-1 (9-1) Chased leaders, lost place over 3f out, well beaten from over 1f out, 7th of 12, 7 1/2l behind Declared Interest (9-1) at Chelmsford City 1m hcp fll (4) pol in Jun.
Tao Te Ching (IRE) 10-1 (9-0) Led over 2f, settled 3rd 7f out, pushed along on inside 3f out, plugged on towards finish, 4th of 13, 7 1/2l behind Katara (9-0) at Kempton 1m 3f fll stks (5) pol in Jul.
Kesarina 9-1 (9-0) Tracked leaders, pushed along and outpaced over 2f out, hung left and weakened inside final furlong, 6th of 8, 4 1/4l behind Arctic Victory (9-0) at Windsor 1m 2f mdn fll stks (5) gd in Jun.
Vischio (IRE) 9-1 (9-3) Led, narrowly headed inside final 3f, chased leaders, ridden and still every chance entering final furlong, stayed on under pressure into 2nd final 100 yards and closed, just failed, 2nd of 11, shd behind Sweet Charity (9-6) at Windsor 1m 2f hcp fll (5) gf in Jul.
