      Verdict

      Delaire didn't appear to get home over a shorter trip at Chelmsford last time and is best watched here. Servery, Hillgrove Angel and Yorkindred Spirit all look exposed but Kingston Sassafras may have improved a little over the winter judged on his fourth at Lingfield. Crisscrossed and MARMOT both run in the colours of Khalid Abdullah. The former is tried in blinkers after turning in a shocker on Turf at Lingfield but we prefer the latter, who never got competitive at Haydock last month but should find this opposition more to his liking.
