In-running (Micasso (IRE))
“Racing mid-pack - seventh at halfway - up to fifth under pressure passing the 2f marker - made further headway with a furlong to run - up to second and pressing the leader inside the final 150 yards - hit the front with 50 yards left - stayed on well to score”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Carvalhal
Carvalhal makes a compelling case having produced his sharpest effort in a year when landing a handicap last time by 2l — the run prior saw him close up in second — and the 6lb higher mark looks fair reward for form that is firmly on the up. Roman Harry and Dinamine are the main dangers; the former may respond to first-time cheekpieces on his return, while Dinamine's latest effort is easy to forgive given he ran the very next day after a third-placed finish on softened ground, and he looks a different proposition on a sounder surface. Secret Magician, dropping back from an excessive trip, also merits respect. Carvalhal is our selection.
