Verdict

KITCHAPOLY was caught close home when odds-on at Warwick last month and races off the same mark here but Dan Skelton’s charge can end a long losing run in this. Vesuvhill was placed at Leicester over a year ago but the remainder have all been well beaten recently. However, Global Dream won here back in March and should be sharper for a recent comeback but Chantara Rose has shown no signs of a return to form having won at Warwick early this year. Market Rasen winner Lemon's Gent has struggled since and the remainder are harder to fancy.
