Verdict
Documenting is still capable at this level as he proved when scoring at Wolverhampton last month. Hafeet Alain will be sharper for a recent comeback and is preferred to Doncaster winner Zip in this grade while First Folio is upped in distance. SPIRIT OF NGURU is without a win on Turf so far this year but won both outings on the all-weather last season and the Haggas charge can get his head back in front in this.
