Verdict

To The Limit won this last year off a pound higher mark but was well behind ESPOIR MORIVIERE at Sedgefield more recently. Connections reported that the latter wasn’t suited by the going at Wetherby subsequently so he gets another chance. Without Conviction has had wind surgery since last seen and Duke Of Deception has the most scope of these, though may need to drop a few pounds.
