      Verdict

      Black Tor Figarro returns from a lengthy lay-off and the lightly-raced Kempton winner Dosti makes his comeback after an eight month absence. The latter could figure if handling the surface. Dontpaytheferryman has been taking on obstacles since winning here in January and is now 6lb higher, while Eton Fable has struggled on turf this year and has no experience of this surface. TRACHONITIS won here at this time last year and his recent form on the Polytrack suggests another victory will not be long in coming. He gets the nod.
