Verdict
English Spirit was runner-up in this last year, with course specialists Poetic Force and Darvel unplaced. Otago is back on the same mark as when successful over 7f here in April but the handicapper has given INTERCESSOR a chance to end his losing run. Global Esteem has placed at Windsor and Ascot this season and Youarenotforgiven goes for the hat-trick after victories at Leicester and Newbury. Harb was second at Epsom latest but is probably better on the all-weather. Bath winner Outrace and Cobalt Blue placed last time but stamina could be an issue for Leicester runner-up Revision.
