Verdict

James Tate trained last year's winner and has leading claims once again with GROOR. The latter just failed to catch the winner in a handicap at Leicester last time. Summer Stroll was still well beaten despite finishing third at Pontefract last time while the likes of Austin Friars and Kopassus finished nearer last on their respective debuts at Newmarket. Manshaa is related to a winner over 6f and is a newcomer to note.
