Verdict

David O'Meara saddles five runners here and jockey bookings offer little in the way of clues. Al Khan has come into his own on fast ground though he's 8lb higher than his victory at Ayr last month. Richard Fahey has two entries - both with good chances - and any further rain would aid the cause of Rene Mathis, a very good second at Chester last time. ALFRED HUTCHINSON came here for a Listed handicap over a mile at the Dante meeting and gained a surprise victory. He was in front at this trip so a 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort and he can take this for Geoff Oldroyd. Highland Colori beat Louis The Pious in the 2013 Ayr Gold Cup and is better over today's trip nowadays. He's 9lb lower than his last victory and must be respected, as must the chances of the runner-up with Shelley Birkett's claim a help. One Word More beat So Beloved over this trip at Thirsk then didn't act on the turns at Chester.
