        Verdict

        Paul Midgley is responsible for three of the eight declared runners in this. Ballintoy Harbour is arguably the best treated but turned in a shocker at Thirsk earlier this month. Saluti is a recent all-weather winner but the vote goes to INDIAN SOUNDS, who has been unlucky not to have added to his tally this year. He’s gone up 4lb since a close second here last time but is just preferred to Sandown winner Seneca Chief and the in-form Modular Magic. Rayong and Ben Macdui could also figure if back on song.
