Aneedh is a course and distance winner but like most of these arrives in poor form. Samsonite won a seller over 1m2f earlier and has yet to race over this far but CHAUVELIN scored over 1m4f at Hamilton in June and may prove good enough in this. Monopoli has recorded all three wins to date in plating company over 1m2f at Leicester while Eeny Mac was a prolific course winner over shorter distances in his day but has not won since 2014 now. The others are even harder to fancy.
