Verdict
Plenty of course winning form here and Langholm won the race a year ago from 2lb lower. He's run well on ground softer than ideal in his three recent starts here and should be thereabouts. Swinging Eddie was third a year ago but prefers some cut in the ground. Mutanaaseq is up 7lb for a convincing course and distance victory over LIBERTY BREEZE but the latter, who completed a track and trip double last summer, will be 11lb better off and can reverse the form and take this. Surprise Picture has more to do than when scoring at Wolverhampton
