Verdict

Most of these are old foes. TOMMY TAYLOR wasn’t at his best at Wolverhampton last month having landed a four-timer here earlier in the year but gets another chance on more favourable terms with Shalaa Asker for an earlier defeat. The latter has since finished behind fourth-placed Old News while Dutch Decoy has a bit to find with the selection. Verreaux Eagle won over today’s trip at Kempton last year and will be sharper for last month’s pipe-opener.
