Verdict

Sennockian Star won last year's renewal and has followed a similar build-up this time round. Stablemate Fire Fighting also has a shout after going close under top weight at Lingfield last time but recent Windsor winner Collaboration steps up a couple of grades. Mount Logan should show further progress this year but drops back in trip for his comeback while Elkaayed is capable on his day but remains unpredictable. What About Carlo won over track and trip in June but is 4lb higher and IMSHIVALLA won here in 2013. She scored four times last year, ending the season with a victory at York, so the Fahey filly is taken to continue her good progress and make a winning.
