      Verdict

      This looks tricky as a number arrive at the top of their game, not least top weight Yeeoow. Bonnie Charlie took advantage of a tumbling mark to score on fast ground at Haydock but will struggle to find cover here from stall one. Towbee won at Thirsk last month but that was over 5f and he prefers a softer surface while Klynch may struggle to confirm course and distance running with Dick Bos on the revised terms and is also closely matched with Fast Shot on Thirsk running. MINALISA didn't handle the Fibresand on her reappearance but remains a filly with a bit of scope on Turf and she may capable of getting back on the winning trail here, though Misplaced Fortune, Docofthebay and Love Island are also worthy of a mention.
