Verdict
The most valuable event on the card has drawn a typically competitive field and a number can be fancied on their best form. Cash has been well placed to lift two of his last three starts over the course and distance but has paid the price and is now 7lb higher than last time so may struggle in this higher grade. J M W Turner had several of these behind when scoring over six furlongs here earlier in the month but faces no easy task at the weights and is better over further while Massey has something to prove after flopping last time. Both James Stark and Up Tempo have place claims on the pick of their best efforts but have been a little below par of late so the tentative vote goes to Sundried Tomato. Peter Hiatt's charge has won over further but is arguably best at this trip as he showed with close seconds both here and at Southwell last time so should go well of a fair mark from a good draw.
