Verdict

Last year’s winner DOCUMENTING looks to have leading claims once again. Kevin Frost’s charge won a decent handicap over track and trip last month and can take advantage of today’s favourable terms. He has 6lb to spare with Shine So Bright, who failed to land the odds in a conditions race at Chelmsford last time and steps back up in distance for this along with Spanish City. The latter ran a big race when runner-up in the Ayr Gold Cup in September while Highland Dress has only raced over 6f since joining Archie Watson’s yard back in March though should have the measure of Mister Snowdon and Radetsky at the weights.
