In depth

Verdict

This look wide-open but Eligible has claims on his early-season form if refreshed by a break. End Zone has placed over 7f but his win here in May came over 6f. Candescence went close over 7f here 10 days ago, however, though is 3lb higher and Distinction is now 0-10, though pretty consistent. Godolphin’s Perfect Balance is tried in cheekpieces after disappointing on his handicap debut at Catterick but we’ll stick with TELLMEYYOURSTORY, who wasn’t stopping when making all over 7f here last month and has the scope to defy a 5lb rise.
