In depth
Verdict
NO TEARS made a promising start to his chasing career when runner-up to Tafika last time and will have benefited for the experience. He is taken to go one better against these more exposed rivals. Wide Receiver returned to winning form in soft ground at Fontwell last month but handles this faster surface, and so does veteran Gerrard, who will have come on for his recent outing. Tuskar Rock scored over today's trip at Leicester recently and One More Dinar won his first race at the same track last month - both have place claims here.
