        slight lead until halfway, ridden and weakened inside final 2f

        In depth

        Verdict

        A competitive finale and it would be folly to exclude the returning Canford Bay and Erich Bloch as both both have gone well fresh in the past. Saluti should have improved for his run behind BUNIANN here four weeks ago and is better off at the weights but he might still struggle to reverse the form. Kind Review has been in terrific form here this year but the handicapper is starting to take note and North Wind could reverse February running on today’s terms. Birkenhead is back on a winning mark but has run poorly here the last twice.
