Verdict
None of these can be easily dismissed. Il Battista has decent form in this grade, albeit on the Fibresand, and Silver Turn is also a winner at Southwell. Swimsuit scored at the same track before disappointing at Kempton last time, but that may have been down to the mile trip rather than the surface. Madam Mayem won over 6f here recently and shaped as though today's extra distance would suit and Amwell Pinot went close at Lingfield last week. However, ACCLAMAZING won over C&D on his return to action and is worth sticking with here given the well-regarded runner-up, March On Beetroot, has won since.
