Verdict

The trio for the shortlist are NORTHERN EMPIRE, Harry Up and Spic 'n Span and the vote goes to Northern Empire. The selection has been in good form of late and he looks worth another chance back in this grade. He has the best of the draw and if he can maintain his recent form he should go close. The draw is a massive negative for Harry Up as he is at his best when he is allowed to dictate and that will not be easy from stall 12. Spic 'n Span has a good draw and he will be suited by the return to the all-weather after a couple of disappointing efforts on the turf. He missed the break at Chepstow last week and if he can get out on terms he might be good enough to claim some prize money. Know No Fear is better than he showed at Ripon last time but he does have a few questions to answer at present. Northern Empire makes most appeal and gets the vote.
