In depth

Verdict

Capaill Liath finished ahead of MR DAVID when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. But he had earlier finished a long way behind Jamie Osborne's charge over track and trip. The latter has since gone close again at this course and may just have the edge today. Kuanyao had been in good form in less competitive sellers than this before a poor effort last time but Seek The Fair Land has a bit to find with the selection on recent running. The Mongoose looks best of the remainder on today's terms.
