Verdict

Where's Susie has been raised 6lb for her recent success over C&D and may struggle to confirm running with Profit's Reality and Indian Ghyll on today's revised terms. Gunslinger could also give her plenty to think about back on this surface after running way below his best at Southwell last week. However, French import WILY FOX got off the mark when stepped up to 1m4f here last month and, with scope for further improvement over today's extra furlong, James Eustace's charge gets the vote. Rollin 'N Tumblin has won four times on Polytrack but may be best watched on his return from a lengthy absence.
