Verdict
NOVERRE TO GO won this last year under a similar burden. He's weighted to reverse Salisbury running in June with Secret Millionaire and can also take revenge on Ginzan for a narrow defeat here last month so there's no reason why he won't go close again. Panther Patrol won at Newbury and Lingfield last month but usually gets found out in this grade while Storm Lightning looks held by the selection on recent form. Langley Vale didn't beat much on the all-weather last time and is 5lb higher now while Decent Fella's wins are usually few and far between.
