Verdict

Davy's Dilemma looked well suited by this trip when scoring at Wetherby and should again give a good account but third-placed TOR can reverse the form on slightly better terms. Iain Jardine's charge didn't get going until too late but stayed on strongly and, with easier conditions in his favour, can gain his revenge and take this. Wordsearch takes a big step up in trip but has plenty of scope and didn't get the best of runs on his reappearance in April. Archibelle found 1m2f too short at Ayr after much better efforts over further and she's on a low enough mark but Marmion disappointed at Ripon after landing a handicap there earlier.
