Verdict

Carrigillihy was unbeaten in four starts here until looking a few pounds high a couple of weeks ago. The three-year-old FOX JOURNEY, a winner over 1m2f at Newmarket, didn't quite get the run of the race over that trip at Epsom and should be suited by the extra so looks the one to beat. The Irish-trained Derry Lad won at Hamilton last month but could do with the ground easing. Haseefah has been running well in strong handicaps and won't mind the conditions nor will Two Brothers, who has been very consistent this season. Geremia needs further on this ground while Wootton'sun hasn't proved he stays this far.
