      Verdict

      A winner at Ripon, Kharbetation failed to cope with only a 3lb rise at Ayr last time and has a change of headgear today. It remains to be seen if Sioux Frontier copes any better upped in class after narrowly winning at Hamilton while Moxy Mares scored in soft going at Haydock earlier but never threatened at Doncaster last time. Destroyer has arguably the best recent form with a third at York but is conceding plenty of weight to Luca Cumani’s three-year-old RECOLLECT (NAP), who will need to improve but is expected to do so stepping up to a mile for the first time.
