Verdict

MY TESTIMONY (5) lands here as the one to beat on resumption following some solid efforts in defeat to end last campaign. Her latest trial suggests she's not gone backwards in the break and she's still open to plenty of improvement. Will need some luck from the draw, but she finds a winnable race and can return on a winning note. INCREDIBLE MR FOX (7) will find this easier than what he's been racing in, dropping back from the midweeks to this race. Pike's booking is a big push for his chances and with the visors going on, he can make a statement. FLASH OF FINA (9) has impressed in both trials this time in and the inside draw is a big push for his chances. Should get every chance with no weight on his back to fire on debut. MISS PROFLIGACY (11) is another debutant with a genuine chance after a close Belmont trial second. Has shown enough to suggest she has some ability. CACHACA (2) can improve coming in trip and with the fresh run out of the way.

5	Returns from a lengthy spell with a Lark Hill trial win behind her, which is a strong readiness pointer for a mare who finished last campaign with three straight placings. She was third to Mandible Magic at Ascot when near the top of betting, after another third behind Dancewithme at Belmont Park where she led and kept giving. Nice trial coming in and the gear changes hint at her being a more mature commodity this time in. 1st Pick 5 My Testimony Jockey: Chanel Cooper Trainer: Tiarnna Noske J: Chanel Cooper T: Tiarnna Noske	88	-	-	-	20%

7	Finished last when resuming in a 3yo NMW1Y at Belmont Park, but the margin was only two and a half lengths and he now gets meaningful weight relief into maiden grade. His debut was in the Listed Supremacy Stakes at Ascot, where he was outclassed at long odds, so this is a much more suitable assignment. Will find this easier than what he raced in last start and Pike's booking is a big push for his chances. 2nd Pick 7 Incredible Mr Fox Jockey: William Pike Trainer: David Harrison J: William Pike T: David Harrison	159	-	-	-	23%

9	Debuts with a clean trial profile, winning a 2f Lark Hill hit-out before taking a 4 ¾f trial there by 1.76 lengths two weeks ago. Barrier one and the 4lbs claim are useful advantages for a first starter, and the stable has several runners on the card. Recent trials have been superb and the inside draw should see him get every chance to translate that form to raceday. 3rd Pick 9 Flash Of Fina Jockey: Jefferson Tsang Trainer: Ryan Hill J: Jefferson Tsang T: Ryan Hill	55	-	-	-	23%
