Verdict

All ground seems to come alike to EBANOUR and, though both of his wins have come over 2m4f and his attitude has been called into question in the past, he quickened nicely when asked in a slowly-run race at Sedgefield last time and has every chance of following up here as Laterly will ensure there is ho hanging around. Cool Baranca has been thereabouts in lesser company recently but gets little respite from the handicapper and Aneyeforaneye has a bit to prove after a shocking run here last month. Dineur is also struggling for form and Strongpoint and Toshi have both been off the track for a while.
