Verdict
Most arrive out of form with the exception of HOWLONGISAFOOT, who finally posted a better effort when runner-up over track and trip last time. He won off a much higher mark at Stratford last year and may prove good enough in this. Versifier has a shout on an earlier second at Huntiingdon and Mamoo is 3lb lower than when scoring at Fakenham in December. Sixties Idol has struggled since winning at Plumpton in February but Swift Native may improve now handicapping for the first time.
