Race Tip

SMALL FRY (7) is in peak form. Can complete a hat-trick after wins on testing ground at Epsom and Chester (1m6 1/2f). BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE (5) unseated his rider making belated reappearance at Chester. Trained by Andrew Balding and remains unexposed as a stayer. Could easily have more to offer in handicaps. This represents a drop in standard for ROAD TO WEMBLEY (2) who wasn't disgraced when seventh tackling a competitive 1m6f handicap at Haydock. Lightly-raced ST PANCRAS (3) shapes as though this step up to 1m6f would suit when third at Ripon during August.
