In depth

Verdict

Castan has been raised 5lb for winning over track and trip while Albegone won at Musselburgh last month and debuts on the all-weather. KHABIB was narrowly beaten at Redcar last time when ahead of Nelson Gay but has a good strike rate on the all-weather and it could be his turn again off his current mark. Treacherous has been thereabouts over 6f recently and drops down in class along with Strong Johnson.
