Verdict

Sulamani The Late has been knocking on the door lately in similar contests. Ujagar has only won a seller so far but was well backed last time at Taunton and holds Osgood on that run. Londonia could figure if fully wound-up and Mount Vesuvius arrives off the back of a win at Exeter, though steps up a grade and shoulders a penalty. Champion Chase has been racing over further but is lightly raced and this is a very stiff track. MOSCOW ME has been around longer than most of these but is still capable in this grade and handled fast going well enough here three weeks ago when third.
