Verdict

Sammy B has been left on the same mark as when completing his hat-trick at Haydock last month. Winningtry was raised 4lb for winning a maiden at Wincanton but should be thereabouts if staying the longer trip and a case can also be made for Important Moment, Just Milly and Glingerside. KING OF FASHION can defy his big weight as he easily beat Strong Economy here in January and had no problem stepping up to 3m last time at Hexham - Thomas Greatrex takes off a handy 7lb.
