Verdict

Frontline Phantom had to work hard to land the hat-trick at Nottingham last time and may be worth opposing here off an 8lb higher mark. Mistoffelees won at Yarmouth and Doncaster last year and should strip fitter for his comeback run over C&D, but Boss's Destination is best watched after almost a year on the sidelines. Dahaam could appreciate the drop in distance but Udabaa is edging up the weights, despite not winning, and top weight Uphold only won a claimer at Leicester last time. Pelham Crescent has probably a bit too much weight at present but PRINCE APOLLO is still on a decent mark, despite winning twice since the turn of the year and running well in defeat at Beverley and Ripon last month. Gerard Butler's charge gets the vote.
