Epsom Downs Race 7 - Hong Kong Jockey Club World Pool Lester Piggott Handicap (Gbbplus Race)
THE TRICKSTER (2) looked to be worth another chance over 2000m when keeping on into third behind an impressive winner at Ascot (1600m) last month. Finished a good second to a useful Charlie Appleby trained horse at Newmarket (Rowley) earlier in the season and still retains plenty of potential. CHARTWELL JOCK (7) was a good third off this mark at Ascot (2000m) last time and can be firmly in the mix adopting first-time cheekpieces. A 3kg rise in weights won't stop GRECIAN LEGACY (9) from being competitive following his victory over the distance at Goodwood 36 days ago. WAR HAWK (5) is consistent. Scored tackling 2100m at Chester last time and is another who will likely be thereabouts for a yard in decent form.

Second run back. First-up after seven months ran last in a small field at Lingfield in the LR Oaks Trial Stakes on May 10 over 2330m, 11 len behind Giselle with 58kg at $11. Previously second-up 4th of 8 at Chantilly in the G3 Prix Du Bois on June 16 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Arabie carrying 55.5kg at $15. Is down in grade but doesn't rate highly.
