Pomme De Terre and Buccaneers Vault are dropping in class but neither seems poised to win at the moment. Vincenzo Coccotti will be seen to better effect back at 6 furlongs but is not one to rely on, and Compton Park’s losing run stretches back to 2014. MESHARDAL was competing in better races than this last summer and can follow up his Catterick win off a generous mark at a venue where he has some good form. Questo wasn’t beaten far over course and distance in April and won’t be too far away.
