Verdict
Aflaam has rather harshly been raised 3lb since his effort when third of 16 behind Miami Gator at Doncaster recently and a better bet looks to be Michael Bell's SHESELLS SEASHELLS, who can resume winning ways on suitable ground racing and off just a 5lb higher mark than when scoring at Yarmouth two starts ago. Conor Dore's Lastkingofscotland would probably prefer faster ground, while Swift Chap has dropped to a fair mark but is out of form. Mountain Cat comes from a yard in good heart but needs to improve on recent showings, while Andrew Balding's Song To The Moon has gone up 4lb for finishing second at Bath last time. Tevez won well here over seven furlongs two outings ago but is now 10lb higher so looks best left out of calculations.
