Verdict

Guildenstern and Crystallize arrive in winning form but go straight back up in the weights and poor strike rates from both suggest a follow-up is unlikely. Katmai River landed a double over C&D last time with today's rival West Leake back in third-place though the latter is weighted to turn the tables today, while Eager To Bow has place claims on his seasonal reappearance. However, a chance is taken on handicap debutant STAND BY ME, who will appreciate today's longer trip and the presence of Richard Hughes in the saddle suggests a big run is expected.
