Just six go to post for this one; Timeform tell us what they make of each of the runners.

ROOKS RIDER HANDICAP (3)

Just six go to post but a number of them probably haven't reached their peak yet and Tinaar is taken to make it three wins in a row from Ottoman Empire and Highland Glen.
Highland Glen easily opened his account in a mile-and-a-quarter all-weather maiden at Lingfield in May. He produced his best effort in handicaps when a fast-finishing sixth to Cosmic Sun at Royal Ascot last time and has been gelded since. A danger to all.

Ottoman Empire's fibresand maiden win last month worked out well in form terms and he looked a handicapper with a bright future when scoring a shade cosily over course and distance last time. He should improve again.

Barwell Bridge has thrived this year, winning twice and finishing a close third at Royal Ascot, but is vulnerable to several lesser-exposed sorts.

Topolski has been much improved since going handicapping, winning twice in the spring. He can be competitive off this sort of mark judged on a fifth to Cosmic Sun at Royal Ascot, but he has gone off the boil since.

Tinaar is progressing nicely and made it two wins in a row when following up a mile-and-a-quarter maiden victory at Windsor with a comfortable success on her handicap debut over eleven furlongs here. A bold bid is expected again.

Simple Solution made a good impression when winning a mile maiden here last year, but she came up short in listed company on her return and has not beaten another rival home on either outing since.
