Formscan By 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.
