Ascot

RETURN OF THE MACH (12) is a progressive mare who won fresh up at Bunbury, before rattling home too late for third here 4 weeks ago over 1200m. The extra furlong third up is the key, and with a soft run assured from the pole position, she can have the last say this time. SNIPPY SEAN (11) will be peaking third up from a spell, and was game in defeat off a wide gate when finishing in the money here 3 weeks ago. The step up to 1400m will suit him, and he has each-way claims again. STYLISH LORD (2) strips fitter second up, and can be a sharp improver, and RALLY THE TROOPS (5) is a last start lesser class winner, who won't be overawed by this company. Don't risk either of them.
