Verdict

Azygous lost no caste in defeat when going down by the narrowest of margins to No Time at Folkestone last month and he is taken to go one better off just a 3lb higher mark today, getting the vote ahead of Peopleton Brook and Nusoor. The last mentioned has been running consistently well and is entitled to be thereabouts again but he may have to settle for minor honours. Tom Dascombe's Magic Glade may need some help from the handicapper. Cashel Mead is entitled to come on for her reappearance run but she needs to, while Rowe Park may now be a shade high in the weights. Jayanjay is on a long losing sequence, while Heavens Walk could probably do with some help from the handicapper and of more interest may be Peopleton Brook. Milton Bradley's horse should improve for his recent return at Goodwood and has to be considered but preference is for Azygous.
