PORTCULLIS (3) looked exciting when running out a dominant winner of the Wood Ditton at Newmarket during the spring before defying a penalty at York five months ago. Given time to mature and looks a class above this field. CHANTILLY LACE (1) tackles a handicap for the first time. Lightly raced this season after struggling in the G2 Dahlia Stakes and better is expected. MURASHAH (4) bids for a hat-trick after winning both outings in 2026. Appears to be improving quickly and makes plenty of appeal. MCMURRAY (7) will find this more realistic than the Ayr assignment and is worth giving another chance.
