In depth
Verdict
Thouwra finally got off the mark in a maiden at Nottingham two weeks ago but this looks a lot more competitive and it will be a surprise if he's good enough to follow up here. Enobled disappointed when a hot favourite at Haydock back in May and hasn't been seen since while Regal Silk also has something to prove following defeat at Windsor but George Cinq, Brownsea Brink and Gracious George are all recent winners and should give a good account. BREDEN goes from strength-to-strength and overcame trouble in-running to make a winning handicap debut at Newmarket when carrying overweight. Only 4lb higher, a hat-trick beckons for John Gosden's charge.
