Verdict

Still unexposed over fences after only three attempts, SARTORIAL ELEGANCE returned a clear winner over a shorter trip here three weeks ago. Colin Tizzard’s charge is taken to overcome a big hike in the weights and confirm superiority with runner-up Tothemoonandback. Onderun made a winning return at Lingfield and Mysteree won at Haydock on his first start since April. Both can figure in this ahead of Wincanton winner Carloswayback, who is upped in class off a 10lb higher mark. Azure Fly is usually thereabouts without winning on faster ground but the going will suit recent Sandown third Morney Wing. Cailleach Annie and Nail 'm could go well from the bottom of the weights.
