Verdict

Several have something to prove off their current marks. That list includes Griggy and Sepahi, who both won on the all-weather earlier this year, while Inaam and Turn To Rock have both been beaten since scoring at the end of last year. Lordsbridge Boy finished a close-up third at Windsor recently but faces a tougher task today. VEGAS BOY drops down a grade after placing at Newmarket and the top weight looks capable of ending a long losing run at this level having slipped down the weights.
