      Verdict

      Heavy going is an unknown but it may be worth giving AHEAD OF THE CURVE the benefit of the doubt as he was impressive when beating an in-form rival over 2m4f here last time and has been placed over this longer trip. Solway Dandy runs well here but, like Landecker and Dawerann, is hard to win with. Tawseef needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Sedgefield while stamina is likely to be an issue for Sky Khan. Sun Cloud and Woodfort are both returning from a break.
