Verdict

WOVEN (NAP) was no match for the winner when runner-up in the Silver Cup here last month but faces an easier task in this and can confirm running with Aberama Gold. Some Nightmare is penalised for winning over the minimum trip at Ffos Las but is due to be raised a further 2lb as is Maple Jack, who scored over track and trip last week when beating Pearl Of Qatar with the 2020 winner Black Friday behind. The latter was only fourth in this last season while Classy Al is carrying 5lb extra after winning over a longer trip here.
