Verdict
THANE OF CAWDOR is a winner on Polytrack over 1m3f and is worth a try over this longer trip. He gets the token vote in a poor handicap. Kashgar was beaten out of sight on his reappearance and may need more time before he's back to his best and Sir Dylan hasn't threatened since winning at Wolverhampton in January. Midnight Sequel landed a double at Kempton early this year and could figure along with Dream Prospector, not beaten far despite finishing fifth at Wolverhampton last time.
