        Verdict

        Four of these are previous course winners and Highly Sprung finished ahead of Mr Orange and Private Matter when third here earlier in the month. Paul Hanagan rides Gin In The Inn but Requinto Dawn may prove the pick of Richard Fahey’s three runners, though has been drawn wide. The in-form three-year-old Mr Wagyu has to go on the short-list, though substantial rain would be a concern. BUCCANEERS VAULT has run well in defeat at the Curragh and Ripon since beating a big field at Thirsk. He still looks to be on a fair mark so gets the nod.
