Plenty with a chance at the weights but CLASSIC COLORI gets the a tentative vote at this longer trip having won over 1m2f here last month. Noguchi separated a couple of higher rated rivals when runner-up at Wolverhampton earlier while Crakehall Lad won at Southwell last time but has yet to race on Polytrack. Ghosting disappointed at Kempton on his latest start but may do better back over this extra distance and Four Nations was due to run here yesterday.
