Verdict

Recent winners Norfolk Sky and Scottish Boogie are both upped in class for this, although Layline could figure once again back on the Polytrack after an outing at Southwell. Be Perfect disappointed at Kempton last time but won in similar company over 2m2f at York earlier in the year. A couple of these make their respective debuts for Tony Carroll's yard. Wildomar has the past form to get involved on his first start since May but stablemate SPIRITOFTOMINTOUL is preferred. The latter scored over 2m at Kempton for Warren Place back in August and has plenty of scope for improvement.
