Verdict
Waahej made the frame over track and trip last time and Nolecce won over 1m6f at this track a fortnight ago. Ty Gwr hasn't raced since November but Renegotiate has a shout after a spell over hurdles. GRAVITATE has also been hurdling having finished runner-up over course and distance back in April. Paul Webber's charge gets only a speculative vote here with other lightly-raced types such as Squeeze My Brain and Bravestar also likely to improve on what they've shown so far.
