A cracking handicap featuring a host of in-form and progressive sorts. Migdam looks to have been prepared for this after overcoming trouble in-running to score with something to spare on his Doncaster reappearance and a rise of 6lb is acceptable. Well drawn, he should be in the firing line. Asaassi, unbeaten this term, gives the impression he only does enough, so could prove well treated and this should tell us how good he is. Warren Point disappointed in a three-horse affair but form in small-field contests can prove unreliable. He's respected but VEE SIGHT still looked green when ultimately scoring decisively at Sandown on reappearance and looks a potential improver from an attractive mark. The draw is a concern but hopefully Hollie Doyle can settle him into a position from which to attack.
