All the evidence leads to Withhold

- By The Scout

WITHHOLD ( 3.35, nap) can make it back- to- back wins in the Listed Jockey Club Rose Bowl Stakes.

The strong stayer has been in good form this summer, winning on the July course two starts ago.

He bumped into a useful younger rival last time out and the seven- year- old, trained by Roger Charlton, below, is well up to defeating this field from the front, in a race which may turn tactical.

LA BARROSA ( 3.00) impressed on debut and is fancied to take the step up in class in his stride at Newmarket.

A 750,000 guineas purchase, the juvenile scored with authority 20 days ago after travelling powerfully over Ascot’s seven furlongs.

With improvemen­t expected, back at the same trip, he should prove too classy for his five rivals in the Group

Three Tattersall­s Stakes.

Owners Godolphin look set for a good afternoon with La Barrosa’s stablemate LAST SUNSET ( 1.50, nb) tipped to take the Bentley Motors Nursery under Frankie Dettori.

The daughter of Teofilio’s switch to a handicap is a good move as she has plenty of ability.

At bigger prices, CASPIAN QUEEN ( 2.25) is an each- way alternativ­e to the market leaders in the British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies’ Handicap.

Sent off favourite for a handicap at Goodwood earlier this summer, she could not find a way through at the notoriousl­y tricky track.

It’s interestin­g Ryan Moore is back on board and the race could be run to suit with a fast pace to aim at.
