        Verdict

        Ghathanfar won this a year ago then followed up at York. He's now slipped to a winnable mark and shouldn't be dismissed. French Import Faro De San Juan was a 25/1 chance when scoring at Chester and will find this a very different track but MILBANKE just failed to get up over the course and distance last time when carrying a huge weight and can go one better. Manila Scouse has done his best work on soft ground though is still on the upgrade but Shalaa Asker, six-times an all-weather winner, has yet to score in 20 starts on Turf. The consistent Abduction looks best of Jim Goldie's trio.
