Verdict

Majestic Mac is the only one of these with winning form here and he was staying on best of all when third at Newmarket 12 days ago. The returning Headland remains unexposed while Sir Busker showed improved form when successful in a first-time visor at Goodwood. Luis Vaz De Torres has carried over consistent form on the all-weather to Turf and won off higher marks last year but we’ll take a chance that a return to 7f will suit REVICH as he’s been struggling for pace over 6f this season – he did score at the trip at Chester last term.
