Verdict

Liam Doran is the only one of these promising young riders able to use his claim and his mount Attain, who just failed to catch San Cassiano at Beverley last week, should give a good account from the same mark. Eddie Greatrex is riding well and was on board when Solveig's Song scored at Brighton in May. Steve Woodman's charge has won again but has shot up in the weights and was beaten off this mark at Epsom last week. TOMMYS GEAL was conceding the latter a stone in that Brighton contest and beaten just over two lengths. He's receiving 3lb here so should turn the tables and gets the nod. Dovil's Duel went up 7lb for a comfortable victory at Bath in May before disappointing at Chepstow while Nosey Barker has only won on Polytrack.
