In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims in an open affair though Madaket is upped in class and raised 7lb after winning at Chepstow while Duke Of Deception scored at Wetherby last month. Blade Runner notched-up a recent double over fences and can race off a 6lb lower mark back over timber but SEEFIN shrugged off a 10lb hike for an earlier success when scoring easily at Ludlow and is clearly on an upward curve. Rebel Intentions won here earlier in the month while Scamallach Liath, Spring Note and Rocco Royale all return to action with a chance.
