Verdict

Banksea returned to form at York last time and there could be more to come from the Luca Cumani colt but preference is for UP IN LIGHTS (NAP). He was hugely impressive in taking a Newmarket handicap and can follow up here. Breakable has shot up the weights but is in good heart so could have place claims along with Third Time Lucky, who put up a more encouraging effort at York. One Word More performed with credit at Haydock last weekend but is a rare winner these days.
