    Race Analysis

    EMPIRESTATEOFMIND (1) is racing consistently with two wins and three placed efforts past six starts including winning a Musselburgh selling stakes by 2L. Can double up. LOOK BACK SMILING (6) placed third contesting a handicap at Ascot before a fourth at Ayr tackling 7f. Holds winning form at this venue and will be thereabouts. TEMPUS (4) disappointed when last of twelve attempting a higher graded handicap at Nottingham. Won over course and distance and warrants respect down in grade. ABDUCTION (2) rounds out the shortlist following two disappointing efforts at Ayr finishing eighth twice. Might improve.
