Kareeb holds solid claims off the same mark as when third behind the in-form Neon Blue at York last week but has been done few favours with the draw and preference is for Topton, who gets the vote ahead of Zafarshah. The last mentioned is another that maybe does not have the best of the draw, although his recent third behind Trevian at Chepstow would give the six-year-old solid claims. Taminoula disappointed at Windsor last time but holds solid claims on earlier form, while Kindness has claims on bits and pieces of form. Deeper In Debt and Gallas are closely matched on running at Yarmouth last month and warrant respect along with Lizarazu, although he may now be a shade high in the weights at present. The vote then goes to Topton, who is on a fair mark and is taken to make the most of a favourable draw.
