      Verdict

      The favourites have obliged in both previous renewals and FLAG WAR may well head the betting in this. He made a winning return at Wolverhampton and is preferred to Nancy From Nairobi. The latter should go well again having gone close at Newbury on her reappearance while better things are expected from Epsom winner One Pekan this year and he is re-united with winning partner Ryan Moore. This Is The Day should also improve further this season but she will need to racing off an 8lb higher mark than when scoring at Haydock in September.
