    Verdict

    Skeaping won this last year when 2lb higher and has placed twice subsequently over track and trip. After a couple of runs, Phil Middleton’s charge should be ready to put in another bold bid. Tahan ran well on the all-weather 10 days ago and his stable won this in 2017 but THE TWISLER has dropped to a potentially lenient mark and is having a first run in a seller so gets the nod. Doux Pretender had useful form for Nicky Henderson but has a first run for a new yard after a very long absence. Raashdy looks best of the rest.
