Verdict

ELDRITCH is the least exposed and gets the vote in an open contest. He was fourth at Kempton last week on his first start since May. Lopes Dancer is upped 5lb for a recent course and distance success while Pioneertown is raised in class off a higher mark having also won over track and trip last time. Reshoun was narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Leicester and Solo Mission was placed over 1m6f last time while a case can also be made for the likes of Airton, Banish, Maghfoor and Globetrotter.
