Sardanapalus has yet to prove he stays today's distance though he has won over 7f here. Cruiser has been running well on Polytrack but hasn't scored on this surface since 2010 while dual 7f winner Kuwait Star was tailed off on his reappearance. It's A Mans World has won three times at the course though looks high enough in the weights at present but Blue Maisey and Star City are capable of figuring off their current marks. The consistent NO DOMINION looks the most likely to run his race after finishing second at Haydock on his return and James Given's charge gets the nod.
