Verdict
GEREMIA won over a shorter trip at Hamilton last month but has scored over today’s distance on the all-weather in the past and should be in the mix in an open contest. World Without Love finished behind the selection at Hamilton but went on to win over 1m6f at Carlisle while Blow Your Horn had Punxsutawney Phil less than a length back in third when scoring over the same trip at Doncaster last week. Legendary Day beat The Predictor by a neck on soft ground over 2m at Ripon in April.
