    Verdict

    Westhaven is still improving as evidenced by his latest win over 1m2f here, but his previous efforts over today's longer trip have been less impressive and Nutshell may reverse earlier form. She re-opposes on better terms after scoring at Lingfield last time and should go close if staying the extra distance. No such stamina doubts surround FINAL LIBERATION, who got off the mark over 1m4f at Lingfield on Saturday despite looking in need of the run and can follow up under a penalty. Watered Silk is 12lb higher than April's C&D victory and Gower Rules races off a higher mark than when successful here in the same month.
