In depth
Verdict
Jockey bookings suggest Magic Bounty is preferred to stablemate MILITARY GREEN. The former has tumbled down the weights and may well figure but the latter has more scope and scored in soft ground at Redcar in June. Great Nicanor finished runner-up on his only start at this track and should make a bold bid while Brailsford won't have to improve that much on his earlier fifth over C&D to figure. Majestic Breeze is preferred to Big Sylv as she scored over 6f on the Polytrack last month and is another to consider as Brian Ellison's runners usually handle this surface.
