Verdict

After landing a hat-trick here three weeks ago the inevitable hike in the weights has seen AQUILIFER raised 9lb. However, he wasn't stretched to beat Roman Strait here last time and Willie Jarvis' charge may not have finished improving yet. He's just preferred to Tijori, who looks sure to go close after beating subsequent winner Ekasin at Wolverhampton last month and has plenty of scope. Yarmouth winner Highlife Dancer makes his all-weather debut on his return from a lay-off, but Foxtrot Golf has yet to win and looks up against it.
