Verdict

Brae Hill is not without a chance but is hard to catch right as is the inconsistent Levitate. Mister Music is another frustrating sort and Toto Skyllachy is up a further 6lb after landing a double at Beverley earlier this month. Hi There should go well on the back of a good effort at Ripon in similar company and Hefner is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Ascot last summer. Asatir has something to prove off his current mark as he returns to action and preference goes to MAVERIK. A winner at Nottingham before going close again in this grade at Sandown last month behind Directorship, who has won again since, another bold bid is expected from Bill Knight's charge.
