Verdict
Mahlerdramatic came good at Market Rasen last month but may struggle to follow up now penalised. Return Flight dropped away tamely when favourite at Carlisle in April and now has a bit to prove but Ballyandrew has plenty of scope for improvement while Golden Investment and The Fresh Prince won between the flags earlier this year and are from stables with a good record in bumpers. GUADELOUPE is by Refuse To Bend out of an unraced Priolo mare so shouldn't be short of pace. He could be the one to re-launch David Loder's training career, though Classic Tune should also be thereabouts.
