Verdict
Ejbaar is fancied to reverse last month's Sandown running with Jaywalker on 3lb better terms as Mick Channon's gelding has been beaten since off his new mark at Newmarket. Course and distance winner Emjayem has won at least once in each of the last three years and looked to be back in form when second at Goodwood. Salisbury scorer Silverrica is bidding for a fourth victory over track and trip but has never been successful off a mark this high. FREE TO LOVE has achieved both wins here on fast going but she handles softer surfaces and can go one better than when second at the track on her latest start as the three-year-olds Summer Chorus and Go On Go On Go On don't look particularly well treated.
