Verdict

ZED CANDY won over 2m here in January and arrives on the back of a victory over hurdles. He gets a tentative vote returning to today's shorter trip and is just preferred to Three White Socks. The latter produced his best effort yet when scoring over 2m here last time and has been raised 7lb. Royal Holiday was placed in plating company in February, Im Spartacus returns from a lengthy absence and Grey Command has done all his winning over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton.
