Inshiraah beat GYMNASTE and Marie Of Lyon over track and trip two weeks ago but only a neck separated the first two and John Gosden’s filly is a pound better off with the winner and can turn the tables. The four-year-old Excellent Sounds is on a hat-trick but a further 4lb rise makes her look vulnerable against less-exposed rivals. Cartographer has done all of her racing so far over 6f but Breakable has won three times over the trip, though is still looking a few pounds too high.
