National Racehorse Week September 12-19 Handicap
1m 1f 209y
Going: Good (Good to Firm in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneAn open-looking contest but the fact that Frankie Dettori has turned up for just one ride points to the chances of TOP BRASS. The Gosden-trained colt, a winner at Chelmsford on his final juvenile start, was just found wanting when sent off favourite for his seasonal/handicap debut over this trip at Newmarket last month, but the run may have brought him on and he remains one to be interested in. Moktasaab, who chased home Dettori's Epsom Derby ride John Leeper on his reappearance, is an obvious danger on his handicap bow, as is Forever Forward, who was touched off at Nottingham last time. Any money for Secret Box over a longer trip on his handicap debut would also be interesting.
