Verdict
SFUMATO has the best piece of recent form when beaten less than a length at Catterick. Having only his second start on the all-weather, he gets the vote now back on a winning mark. Blessed To Empress won at Brighton in May and wears a visor for the first time having won off a higher mark at Chelmsford last year but both of Midnight Guest’s previous wins came over shorter trips. Peachey Carnehan does most of his winning here though is best over 6f.
