Verdict
SARSTED (NAP) looks the one to beat in this if he can translate the form of his debut third on Turf at Newbury to the Polytrack. His half-brother, Yeomanoftheguard, won on the surface so it shouldn't be a problem and his pedigree is stamina-laden. Magical Thomas was still beaten nine lengths when third at Chepstow while Eatsleepracerepeat is no certainty to confirm Wolverhampton running with Sea Of Red over this extra furlong.
