Verdict

Dantie Boy should win this easily, he was slightly disappointing last time out but he is taken to bounce back to form in this moderate affair. Spanish Archer looks the only conceivable danger he ran well last time over a longer trip and this step back in trip is not sure to suit. Auchonvillers should also run into a place he showed promise here on his debut when fourth and should appreciate this longer trip but he looks to have it to do against the favourite. The remainder look moderate.
