    Verdict

    Oleg won over 2m1f here back in 2020 but hasn’t raced since the same year while Haizoom represents last year’s winning yard and beat Captain Haddock over a shorter trip at Hamilton before placing over 2m. Yasmin From York won at Catterick earlier when beating OVERHAUGH STREET but the latter went on to win here earlier in the month with The Rutland Rebel and Flint Hill behind and looks worth sticking with despite a 4lb rise having won off higher marks in the past. Byron Hill is back on a winning mark and Twilight Prince has a shout on last week’s second at Bath.
