      Verdict

      NEUF DES COEURS steps up to this trip after completing a double over 1m4f but hasn't been stopping at the finish and there's no reason why she shouldn't stay the extra though she did fail to last out two miles here a year ago. The veteran Merchant Of Dubai is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and ran very well over a trip much too short at Doncaster recently but Templier has never raced beyond 1m4f and is still a maiden. The latter remark also applies to Ryan The Giant who has been raised 4lb for his recent placed efforts in poor company. Transpennine Star has only had five races, all on ground with some give. He hasn't been beaten far in his last two so if he handles the quicker going he should be thereabouts.
