Verdict
Inner Circle ran well for third in a higher grade contest at Redcar last time and should go close with a similar effort. Alexandrakollontai finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when runner-up at Hamilton recently but the same cam be said of ETIKAAL. He struggled after taking a hike in the weights for last year’s success at Chelmsford but is back on a winning mark now and wasn’t beaten far when third at Musselburgh last week. Ghayadh has something to prove back over 7f today while Munthany never figured last time having won a Class 6 contest at Wetherby earlier.
