Verdict

WHY ME (6) is proven third-up and brings a 1.3L defeat from Belmont over this trip. Will find this much more suitable, and 3x winning rider Fiore stays aboard. He's won 2/2 this course and distance and is the one to beat. PRAY AGAIN (4) resumes further improved with a 1L defeat at Northam and then just missed here stepping up to 1m. He has an awkward gate, but with the extra fitness, he's capable of going one better. PURE CHINO (2) has pieces of form that would see her competitive, and she will be better for the first-up run here over 7 ½f. HANG GLIDER (3) is fourth up and can show more today. MAKIN PROPHETS (7) has a 9lbs claimer on today, and the weight relief should see him around the mark.
