Verdict

Bogardus popped up at 20/1 when narrowly winning at Carlisle but a 5lb rise may be enough to anchor him. CLENYMISTRA won off a similar mark over course and distance at this time last year and a recent placed effort at Leicester suggests she can go close in this. Champagne Rules remains 8lb higher than when landing a double on the all-weather last year and Aelius will find this tougher after placing in an amateur riders' race last month. Excalibur is usually in the mix without winning and finished behind runner-up Palindrome at Beverley recently, though the latter has just the one success in 21 starts.
