Verdict
More than half of this field have won before at the track so there are almost limitless possibilities, though the penalised Spanish Star and his Leicester victim Shoot The Moon have an outside stall along with course specialist Pastfact and Rasheeq. Unless the field heads for the stands rail SARAS HOPE, who starts from stall two, may have an advantage and the recent Redcar third appears to handle all types of going. Under Curfew, partnered by Mollie Phillips, beat Alba Del Sole in apprentice handicap here last month and Michaels Choice is only a pound higher than when successful over track and trip in July. Gleeds Girl is 8lb lower than when last successful but has been out of sorts this term.
