In depth
Verdict
A low-key opener can go to ASDAA, who has slipped to an attractive mark and was more like his old self when a close-up third at Kempton nine days ago. The Richard Hannon pair - Always Fearless and Elegant Erin – also go on the shortlist while Alibaba arrives in decent form and is only a pound higher than when runner-up at Yarmouth at the start of the month but Brunel Charm and Yankee Stadium both failed to justify favouritism latest with the former best on Polytrack and the latter still a maiden.
