      Verdict

      Anay Turge was just beaten at Kempton after winning at Market Rasen and is in good form. He would have been the selection here on quicker ground but has never won on soft and may struggle to give 11lb to KIRBYS GLEN. The latter has never won away from Taunton but returned in good heart there in March after a break and should be a factor here. Brixen may be the pick of the remainder with McCoy in the saddle, despite finishing tailed off at Towcester last time, as Numide hasn't run over fences since 2009 and the other pair have been absent for a while.
