      Verdict

      Half of this field are previous course winners including Daisy Bere, who won over a shorter trip here just over a year ago off a similar mark. The lightly-raced Influent handled the surface when third here last month and Coillte Cailin and Nonios are both starting to look well treated nowadays. TANGRAMM has a terrific all-weather strike-rate and he’s won five of his previous 10 starts around here. He’s still on a fair mark, despite winning at Chelmsford last month, and can pounce late to take this if there is enough pace.
