Verdict
Ishebayorgrey has won six times around here though never over a trip this far. MASALAI (NAP), a winner here in November 2017, was having his first start since June when a close fourth a fortnight ago so should be spot-on for this so gets the vote. Fastidious was behind in that latter race but has dropped to such a lowly mark that it would be no surprise if he bounced back but Latchet had every chance and couldn't repeat his earlier victory over the track and trip. Pretty Little Liar scored over 1m2f here in April and ended the year over hurdles so probably wants further while Taceec ran a shocker at Newcastle after scoring on the same surface at Wolverhampton. Anfaass won over 7f here in November but has yet to prove he stays this trip.
