Verdict

Rebecca Curtis has saddled two of the last three winners of this and the Pembrokeshire trainer has her horses in sparkling form again. CORONER'S REPORT overcame trouble in-running to win a maiden point at Dawstown in May. He'll be expected to pay his way under Rules and is definitely worth a second look if the market speaks in his favour. The obvious danger is April's easy Taunton winner Brahms De Clermont as the Nicholls stable won this in 2007 and 2012. River Wylde easily landed the odds at Warwick in May and Woodfort also had plenty in hand at Ffos Las earlier this month. Kalanisi Circle is another to consider while the Midnight Legend gelding Aye Aye Charlie looks the pick of the three newcomers.
