Verdict
EXAMINER is the highest rated of these after landing a maiden race over track and trip in good style. He can defy a penalty with further progress expected and is just preferred to First Experience. The latter scored at Wolverhampton last month and can figure along with Capers Royal Star, third in a handicap at this track earlier in the month. Impulsive Moment will need to step up from his debut effort at Newbury but is worth noting for any support in the betting given his yard won this contest last year.
