Verdict
Banna Boirche didn't have much success in Dubai in the spring and though on his lowest mark for four years may just need the run. Stablemate Rummaging is stepping up to this trip for the first time which looks much needed after his fast-finishing efforts last month. Strait Of Zanzibar was behind him the last time they met when the 7lb rise he received for scoring a week earlier didn't aid his cause. Dashwood rarely races over this trip nowadays and was beaten in a claimer here last week though he was staying on over the 7f that night. Despite a recent victory at Listowel, Equation Of Time is better handicapped on Turf but Antiquus was staying on well behind Whailley on Wednesday and looks in need of the extra furlong. MISTY LANE (NAP) has gone up 5lb for a convincing victory here last month which is by no means excessive. She puts in the occasional bad run but is probably still a head of the assessor and can complete the double.
