Verdict
This is wide-open but Alfred Richardson is upped in class after winning at Pontefract and Excel Again landed a maiden race at Newcastle in February and both will find this tougher. Sidewinder finally opened his account with a win over course and distance and is upped 3lb but a chance is taken on the less exposed ARSENIO LUPIN, beaten only a neck at Nottingham on his handicap debut with further progress expected here. Thaaqib should be capable of better and Proud Archi won at Beverley before placing off a higher mark at Musselburgh.
