Verdict

Casilli won at Beverley last month and can go close again raised 4lb but TRAVELLER is just preferred. The latter arrives in fine form having won over track and trip before going close at Wolverhampton and can race off the same mark today with William Buick taking over the reins. Curfewed also scored over course and distance recently but faces tougher opposition today while Defence Treaty is creeping closer though both previous wins came over 7f.
