Verdict

Beau Mistral's win here last month came over 5f and she has been well beaten since. Divine Call has also struggled since landing a race at Goodwood back in May so another chance goes to STENID to open his account. He was beaten only a short-head at Ripon on his penultimate start. Consistant scored over track and trip off today's mark last season and Great Expectations went close at Chepstow recently. Commanche and Sleepy Dust continue to slide down the weights with the latter preferred.
