Verdict
Course and distance winner Heurtevent clearly didn’t stay a much longer trip here last time and goes on the short-list. Breeze Along’s form is nothing to write home about but Dan Skelton has done well with similar sorts in the past and he’s had a wind operation since last seen. KING MURO got his act together at Bangor last month and this doesn’t look any more difficult, despite a 6lb higher mark. No No Cardinal is an infrequent winner but Djarkevi often attracts market support so shouldn’t be written off just yet.
