Verdict
Most of these have won over the trip including top weight Classic Seniority, who is on a hat-trick after victories at Doncaster and Hamilton and was ahead of Bertiewhittle when third at York earlier. Hayley Moore has won this twice and should get a tune out of Mike Appleby’s Supersta but Sandown winner Imperial State seems best over a mile. Katie Walsh partners Georgian Bay for Karl Burke but her mount is on a long losing run. MAJESTIC MOON is another struggling to get his head back in front but he’s continued to slip down the weights and has won over course and distance in the past. Gina Andrews is an accomplished amateur and her mount is expected to be in the firing-line after showing a bit more last time at Yarmouth.
