Verdict

PASSIONAL landed the odds over track and trip with the minimum of fuss when bidding for a hat-trick last time. She may not have finished winning yet judged on that cosy success and should have the measure of both Mercers and Starchant once again. Buy Me Back finished in front of Indian Pursuit when third at Newcastle having tumbled down the weights while Comeatchoo posted one of his better efforts when placed at Wolverhampton. King Robert was beaten less than a length in a bunch finish over track and trip recently and could go well.
