Verdict

MOTHECOMBE (7) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last 12 weeks ago when he scored over 1 ¼m at Newmarket (Rowley). The Charlie Appleby stable will have him ready to rumble fresh up. NATIVE AMERICAN (1) finished not far away in sixth last time out over 1m at Goodwood after being in the firing line on the turn two months ago. Steps up in journey today. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. POSTER PAINT (13) was unplaced on the dirt when fresh here, and then followed up with a sound second at Jebel Ali over 1 ³/16m when beaten 3 lengths. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and two minor placings from four starts. One to consider. SISYPHEAN (5) is an imported four-year-old having his first run in this area for the Richard Spencer stable. Hasn't raced since he finished well back over 1m at Ascot three-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials, but he is among the main top 4 chances.
