Verdict

TOP FLIGHT CENTURY looks the most solid option in a competitive handicap. Masterminding and Katzoff could both have bigger performances in the locker.

6	Arrives in good heart following 2¾ lengths third in a competitive race for the grade at Perth (2½m) last time. Still only 2 lb above his latest winning mark, and the longer trip around a sharp track should suit. Solid claims under good-value claimer. 1st Pick 6 Top Flight Century (Fr) Jockey: Joshua Thompson Trainer: David Thompson J: Joshua Thompson T: David Thompson	98	-	-	-	20%

7	Finished ahead of Zuul when encouraging second behind course specialist on stable debut over C&D (good). Didn't shape as well when well-held third behind Seeyainthesuninn on good to soft here subsequently. Worth another chance to confirm his previous promise, though. 2nd Pick 7 Masterminding (Ire) Jockey: Leah Noreci Trainer: James Moffatt J: Leah Noreci T: James Moffatt	100	-	-	-	25%

8	Long-standing maiden never looked like justifying favouritism on stable debut at Stratford (19f) last time. However, Dan Skelton has had plenty of success with new recruits this summer and first-time blinkers are expected to have a positive effect. 3rd Pick 8 Katzoff (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	95	-	-	-	15%
