Verdict

Sailing Through has proved a revelation of late and is taken to complete a four-timer while Racing Night, Just A Martian and Not Amused are others to consider. The Terry Mills-trained colt put up a particularly good effort when an impressive five-length winner over this trip at Windsor earlier in the week and looks set for a hefty hike up the weights so should prove capable of defying a 5lb penalty. Racing Night opened his account in a Lingfield maiden in May but proved a big disappointment on his handicap debut the following month and hasn't been seen since so is probably best watched at present. Just A Martian is 5lb higher compared to a narrow success at Bath in June but has put up a number of creditable performances since so has to be respected with Kieren Fallon booked. Not Amused looked a bright prospect when making a winning return at Doncaster's Lincoln meeting but ran below expectations next time and has an absence of over three months to overcome so now has something to prove.
