Verdict
The three-year-old Regal Mirage has won his last four on all types of ground but only just got home at Pontefract and has a 4lb rise to contend with. MAORI BOB twice finished runner-up in better races than this at Newmarket before finding heavy going and two miles beyond him at Nottingham. Back to this trip he can take advantage of his lowly mark and Lulu Stanford's claim. Peterhouse hasn't won since scoring at this meeting in 2015 and still looks a few pounds high while Modernism is much better on the all-weather.
