Verdict
Dors Toyboy scored over track and trip from the inside stall last time but is drawn out wide today. Silks Pass found one too good when favourite at Lingfield but EPIC EXPRESS put some moderate form behind him when narrowly beaten over track and trip. The latter won off a similar mark back in April and may prove the one to side with. Thrave finished runner-up over a longer trip at Southwell while Breach placed over 6f at Kempton on her latest start.
