In depth
Verdict
Though Wincanton winner HIGHBURY HIGH was only third when backed to follow up at Fontwell, Neil Mulholland's charge looks the one to beat here. Asockastar possibly found 2m too short when favourite at Uttoxeter so the Irish import rates a danger and Act Of Supremacy has shown definite signs of ability so can't be ignored. Kentford Myth could also figure if back on song but Briac returns from a break and is probably best watched.
