Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 7.40)  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. MARDUSA (2) missed a whisker in an Open 2 at Ascot on debut, racing new. Resumes today owning a Belmont trial win and will be naturally improved. He jumps from the inside barrier, and CJP continues his association with the Maurice gelding. BUCKLED (1) was spelled off a heavily bet placing in an Ascot Open 2. Resumed at Belmont at the level and wasn't far away. Better suited, and the blinkers go on again. BLUE MOZART (4) debuts, and his trial was tidy. Pike is a key jockey booking, suggesting a bold run is on the cards. ALL BANG (3) has trialled well for his return. He wasn't beaten far in an Ascot Open 2 on debut, after a slow start. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mardusa sets a decent standard.
