      Verdict

      The Trader has won just once since 2018 and that was over 1m4f but Sha La La La Lee went close over a similar trip to this at Wolverhampton last time. Global Art won over track and trip back in September and is reunited with winning partner Ryan Moore while Fox Premier has undergone a wind operation having disappointed in both earlier outings this year. A winner in Ireland, Centroid debuts for new connections while OSLO appeared to find 1m4f too far at Wolverhampton last time. But Mick Appleby’s charge had been threatening a return to winning ways over today’s distance before that and gets another chance.
