      Verdict

      Militia will have to overcome a modest draw to follow up his victory on a similar surface at Musselburgh but can’t be left out of calculations. POWERALLIED loves it here and is 4lb lower than when successful on his last visit so can strike again for the Fahey team and Marwen Koukash. She Can Boogie has also won over track and trip and Mutabaahy is only a couple of pounds higher than when scoring in this grade at Newcastle last month. Lihou is not short of pace and is a pound lower than when scoring over 6f at this track early last year while Thrilla In Manila has low mileage, though hasn’t really excelled over 5f so far.
