Verdict

The consistent Ripp Orf could prove tough to crack on the back of last week's C&D success. Anything that defeats David Elsworth's charge will have earned it but VINTAGER might prove equal to the job. The Mastercraftsman colt ran well on reappearance in a Sandown handicap over this trip in April and has twice in gone well in pattern races since, including in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot over a longer trip. He could have more to say. Keeper's Choice is a lightly-raced filly going the right way and could easily have further improvement in her while handicap debutant Silver Quartz is also worth paying attention to having shaped well in decent company.
