Hepplewhite was third in a higher grade at Windsor on his first start for William Muir but has only won a seller so far. Kerrymerry won on Turf and Polytrack here in 2015 and was third at Chelmsford following a play-off. Dovils Date is fairly treated on his best form but Marshall Aid had had plenty of opportunities to get off the mark and will likely find at least one too good again. Sir Pass I Am showed improved form upped in trip at Chepstow but may be vulnerable off 6lb higher. FITZWILLY was given plenty to do on his reappearance at Goodwood and can’t get much lower in the weights. As long as there is a decent pace, Mick Channon’s stayer shouldn’t be far away.
