        Verdict

        Third over a mile here last time, Balgair has a chance back up in trip. Wisper has won three times at Brighton this year and was second here last month, though is 8lb higher now. Arenas Del Tiempo won this last year but is still 6lb higher in the weights and has been out of sorts so far this season. TARTAN CHIEF isn’t guaranteed to get his own way out in front here, as he did at Newbury, but Mohammed Tabti takes off 7lb so he can’t be left out of calculations. White Willow is another likely to be up with the pace and all of the remainder could figure if on a going day.
