      Verdict

      All a question of how many of these mainly in-form sorts stay around this stiff track. High On Light has a 1m6f victory to his name, achieved in a manner suggesting he'll handle the extra 2f. Similar comments apply to Gabrial's King who'll find this track a very different experience to his normal hunting ground of Chester but let's take ALTRA VITA to step up again after completing a hat-trick against lesser company over shorter trips, Her trainer is a master at handling such sorts and the amount of weight received from older horses swings matters in her favour. Consistent Stormin Tom has no stamina worries but Psychotic is struggling to find his best form
