Documenting races off the same mark as when winning this last year and he came right back to form when a close third at Doncaster three weeks ago. Via Serendipity is a course specialist who arrives off the back of a victory at Windsor and Cliffs Of Capri also goes well here. Orbaan has probably been running a bit better than form figures would suggest and Maxi Boy doesn’t have many miles on the clock but TOP SECRET is heading in the right direction despite narrow defeats the last twice. The form of his latest second at Newbury was franked by the winner at Salisbury earlier this week and he’s already won over track and trip this year. Back over 7f, Baashir may be the pick of the remainder.
