FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI is winless since March 2022 and has been running over a mile recently but runs in a winnable race. His previous win came at this distance and being a keen-goer, is likely to race with the pace, although softening ground would be a concern. Mercurial's only win, from 21 runs, was in 2021 but ran well over six furlongs at the Curragh. He should be suited by reverting to this distance and competes from a career-low rating, under his usual 7lb claimer. Storm Eric's only win, and his best form, is on the all-weather but his rating has fallen recently and will also be suited by reverting to this distance. Purring Along has been running well and was a distance winner in May while Inablink showed minor promise on recent handicap debut. Dance Emperor, which returned from 683 days off recently, will be unsuited by this distance.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 47-70Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
