Verdict
Victoria Falls bids for a hat-trick upped in class under a 5lb penalty while Epsom winner Kimifive also faces a tougher task. Ayr runner-up Ventura Rascal is preferred to Double Time, who placed in an amateurs' race at Ascot, while Value Added drops down in distance along with RANGER THUNDERBOLT. But the latter had won over today’s trip at Newbury on his earlier reappearance and this return to faster going will also suit. Restrict attempts this longer trip for the first time and can also figure if lasting home.
