      Verdict

      Llewellyn had Burning Blaze back in third when scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago and is upped 6lb. He should go well again but Welliesinthewater has been raised the same amount after finishing only second at Chelmsford and will find this tougher. AFKAR is preferred as he beat a subsequent winner to score over course and distance last month with the re-opposing Danish Duke well beaten. Ivan Furtado's charge gets the nod on the strength of that form.
