        Verdict

        Inglorious and Roaring Forties won separate divisions of this last year but on soft ground and it was testing going when the latter scored at Ayr just four days ago. The former has not been at his best recently while Inner Circle continues to slide down the weights but has just the one win in 24 starts. Coviglia struggled in soft going last time but has a shout back on fast ground today while Supaulette is upped in class after scoring over 6f at Newcastle. EXPLAIN (NAP) moves in the opposite direction having won a Class 3 contest at Ayr recently and it’s Ruth Carr’s charge that gets the vote remaining on a winning mark despite a 4lb rise.
