      Verdict

      ALIENTO, Asmund and Millions all went close last time. The former placed at Ayr and Doncaster last season so isn’t fazed by a straight 7f despite arguably showing his best form at Catterick. River Wharfe has won at Lingfield and Brighton this year but finished last at Epsom last time upped to a mile. Daniel Deronda will have needed his run at Ayr but seems best at Newcastle.
