      Verdict

      Aletoile is the only one to have raced over this far though could only finish third of the four runners at Ripon last time. But there is plenty of stamina in the pedigree of SIM CARD and having finished runner-up over 1m2f at Yarmouth on his reappearance, Michael Bell’s charge may prove good enough. Beastie Boy is fitted with headgear after finishing third at Lingfield and is preferred to Mustang Kodi while Saulire Star wasn’t beaten far at Newbury despite her finishing position and makes her handicap debut along with Dansing Bear.
