LOVE ROME (1) gave a bold sight but was just outpointed on second outing when 1L second at Ayr tackling this trip four weeks ago. Could get the job done here partnered by an in-form Cieren Fallon. GREEK SYMPHONY (2) is progressive. Recorded a neck victory making handicap debut at Lingfield (1400m, all-weather) last month. Not unduly punished at the weights. Solid credentials. BAYSIDE (3) finished down field in the Chesham Stakes at the Royal meeting prior to a fair 2.5L third at Kempton last time. Enters calculations. BETTER NATURE (5) steps into open company now. Been placed at this course and distance. Should improve.

Recent form sound. Most recently was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a neck at Lingfield All Weather July 13 over 1400m defeating Lord Ragnar carrying 57kg at $5. The start before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Newbury on June 23 over 1200m, neck behind Yahaira carrying 58kg at $3.50. Sure to measure up here.

Returns from a 38-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 8 at Kempton Park All Weather on July 2 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Bin Waary with 59kg at $11. The run before that 12th of 14 at Ascot in the LR Chesham Stakes on June 18 over 1400m, 8 len behind Nola Soul with 57kg at $126. This looks a stern test.

The start before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on June 8 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Kach Above with 60.5kg at $3.80. One of the leading chances.
