Verdict
Suwaan has threatened to get his head back in front on more than one occasion this year but Meerpat did just that when scoring at Haydock last month with Fumbo Jumbo back in third. The former has been raised 6lb for this and Canford Bay is 4lb higher after winning at Wolverhampton. KINLOCH PRIDE won at Catterick before producing another good effort over track and trip last week when beaten less than a length She won off today’s mark here last season and is taken to confirm latest running with Primo's Comet and go in again.
