Verdict
Faithfulflyer has been in good form on testing ground and has to come into the reckoning having placed over 3m at Musselburgh last time but SHANTOU MOON is fancied to improve further over this longer trip. The latter had the measure of Fortcanyon when successful on good ground over 2m6f at Kelso and can defy a 6lb rise. Jessiemac finished runner-up over track and trip two runs ago but You Some Boy would prefer softer going and Paramaribo and Maura Jeanne have yet to win.
