Br B f Coach House (IRE) - La Fortunata Charlie Bennett J

PLAY SMARTER MAMILLIUS emerged with plenty of credit when just denied by one that raced on the seemingly favoured stand side at Brighton 9 days ago so rates a serious player off the same mark. Muscika had excuses last time and was only just denied by the now-smart Ejtilaab over C&D on Derby Day, so he looks the chief danger.

THE WATCHABLE HANDICAP STAKES

Ridden that day by Champion Jockey Oisin Murphy, Watchable was trained for all bar the first of his 93 career starts by David O’Meara. He was retired earlier this year at the age of 11 having won 12 races and having amassed earnings of £338,932.
