      Verdict

      ASTROLOGER has really thrived since meeting testing conditions and completed a double when scoring on heavy going over 7f here. She's been staying on strongly and will take some catching if attempting to make all, as she did from 6lb lower last time. Amadeus Grey won over the trip at Carlisle and though up 4lb this doesn't look much tougher. Hesslewood won at Newcastle on his only all-weather start though his only Turf victory was on fast ground but Kuwait Station was staying on over 7f at Catterick and will relish this stiffer test. Mayfair Spirit completed a double over 1m2f on fast going but couldn't handle a 5lb rise at Nottingham while Sir Victor hasn't been running well, though is 1lb lower than his last winning mark.
