In depth
Verdict
Count D'orsay has suddenly rediscovered the winning habit and will handle underfoot conditions better than most. He’s still well treated on past form, despite a further 4lb rise. Stone Circle is back on a winning mark and the only course winner in the line-up but GOOD EARTH probably recorded a career-best at Newmarket earlier this month, despite meeting trouble in-running, and the top weight could easily follow up here ahead of Ayr scorer Sir Titus and Nomadic Empire, who has slipped to a fair mark and also has Adam Farragher’s claim in his favour.
