          Verdict

          A high draw is usually a significant factor here and, as there is plenty of pace amongst those on the stands side, it again looks the place to be. Zuhair, Xanadu and Laurel Dawn are respected on the pick of their efforts but preference is for Strensall, who looks to be hitting form at the right time. Paul Hanagan gets on very well with the six-year-old and the partnership will be hard to master with the conditions in their favour. Polar Impact and Maromito should also be involved in the shake-up but will have to show good early pace to avoid being forced down the centre of the course.
