        Verdict

        ARGAKI ran better than his finishing position would suggests when sixth at Ayr last time. He at least looks likely to run his race which is more than can be said for the other contenders. Red Charmer arrived at this track in good form last time but ran a shocker and Almerzem was beaten out of sight at Kempton recently. Hard Core Debt won over a mile here last week but is upped in class under a penalty and attempts this longer trip for the first time. Champagne Rules finished second at Leicester last month but has shown a marked preference for soft ground.
