Verdict

Put Game Lad, Imperial Echo, King Harson, Jubilee Street and Flying Bantam on the list of possibles, but we will side with High Bray. High Bray did us a good turn at Salisbury last time, looks a progressive performer and, despite having been raised six pounds for that win, can go well again today, although he is fairly closely weighted with Grizedale based on that Salisbury win. Commando Scott is on a winning mark and comes here on the back of a good win, although his wins to date have come at six furlongs. Capricho is well handicapped based on 2003 form, so watch the betting, while Game Lad won with something in hand at Musselburgh last time and a four-pounds rise might not stop him from being competitive. Imperial Echo was not far behind him there - with Royal Challenge just in front - and is now on a winning mark. Romany Nights might have more to come at this trip, while King Harson is another to have dropped to an attractive mark. Yakimov is another to hold claims on old form, while Dabbers Ridge remains competitive from his current rating. The hat-trick seeking Jubilee Street is progressive but is unproven on this type of going, while Flint River has proven himself competitive from today's rating. Flying Bantam is also back to below a winning mark and comes here in good heart, which provides further proof of the competitive nature of a race in which we select High Bray.
