      Verdict

      Dragoon Guard, a winner at Wolverhampton on his final start in 2013, hasn't run since a close third at Leicester almost a year ago but is an obvious threat to all if fit enough. Milly Naseb was on board when INDIA'S SONG (NAP) won here and at Kempton and, though the combination just failed in their hat-trick bid, Dave Simcock's mare still looks on a reasonable mark and she can go in again. The Lock Master completed a hat-trick at this time a year ago and was on a 10lb higher mark for that final victory. He should go well while Topamichi ran well on his only start on this track. Candyman Can has changed stables and has a long absence to overcome though that is never a problem for one of Willie Musson's so the market should be watched.
