Verdict

Langholm won here in April and gained his sixth career victory at Catterick last month for which a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent a double. However, SWINGING EDDIE was just over a length behind and is 2lb better off despite having scored comfortably at Ayr so he’s taken to reverse the form. It’s two years since Frankelio won but he’s dropped to a fair mark as a consequence and ran much better at Wetherby. Patontheback’s two victories have been on Tapeta and he’s only run once on Turf while International Boy has disappointed in his two runs this campaign.
