Verdict

FROG HOLLOW totes joint topweight but could be the one after being given a nice break following a Royal Ascot disappointment in the Britannia Stakes. He had previously looked a useful three-year-old handicapper in the making and is well worth another chance dropped to Class 3 company. Usain Colt hasn't looked the most straightforward this term but his latest effort, a fifth to Stirring Ballad at Sandown when staying on well, was franked in no uncertain terms when the winner landed a competitive Glorious Goodwood handicap this week. Ruby Night also looked below par last time, probably due to the soft ground and previous runs suggest he'll be far more effective returned to a sounder surface. Otto The Great returns after a break after getting bogged down on his Sandown reappearance back in April and looks interesting with Frankie Dettori booked.
