Verdict

Sucellus took no interest last time at Doncaster but is a previous course and distance winner, as is Star Shield. DULLA BHATTI tries a new trip but is probably the pick of the weights, though needs forgiving a tame effort last time at Carlisle. Raise The Roof is preferred to Equion as both make their debut on Turf.
