    Verdict

    BURCAN (NAP) won at Chelmsford on his penultimate start but found the step up to Class 2 company beyond him at Wolverhampton last time. Still unexposed, Marco Botti’s charge should find this easier and gets the nod. Wrangler also drops in class having finished well ahead of Royal Marskell when placed at Wolverhampton last month and Rydan was a couple of lengths in front of Hamelin when third here a fortnight ago. Natural Scenery came up short in this grade over 1m2f last time and Sennockian Star disappointed at Wolverhampton during the week having gone close before that. Ride The Lightning is upped in class for this while Alinstante is upped in trip.
