        Verdict

        Relight My Fire is a standing dish around here and though he doesn't win often he's generally thereabouts from this sort of mark and has always to be considered from a decent draw. Presidential beat him narrowly at Carlisle last week but a 6lb penalty gives Tim Easterby's charge a fair chance of reversing the form. Nature Boy has plenty to do from the outside though he's improving fast and stayed on strongly to catch Hitman here earlier this month. The runner-up has a nice berth on the inside and looks to have every chance of reversing the form though CHAPLIN BAY may be good enough. A winner at Newcastle in March and runner-up there earlier this month, he reverts to Turf on a 14lb lower mark and looks certain to take some beating. Talent Scout won this a year ago and loves it around here though runner-up Make On Madam has a weight advantage and can turn the tables under the champion jockey.
