      Verdict

      Croquembouche and Ingleby Hollow won over 1m5f on their respective latest outings but both face a much more difficult task in this. Stone The Crows won over 1m6f at Carlisle last time but struggled over track and trip before that while Master Archer finally got off the mark when successful over 2m on the all-weather a fortnight ago. Humble Hero has every chance in a first-time tongue-tie if lasting home having finished a close-up third over 1m3f at Windsor but NORTHWEST FRONTIER looks a safer proposition as he completed a double over today’s distance in May and went close again in a higher grade at Ayr last time.
