Verdict

None of these inspire much confidence and that includes KYLLACHY STAR. He was expected to do better when third at Haydock last week but might find this a shade easier. It was testing ground when Rioja Day signed off with a win at Windsor last season and he's upped 5lb while Lord Franklin failed to improve on last year's placed efforts in a couple of starts last month. Staffhoss arrives out of form but is dropped in class for this butTectonic has looked high enough in the weights since scoring at Carlisle in September.
