Verdict
Most of these can be given a chance. Aint Got A Scooby finished a length ahead of Lady Lunchalot when fifth on the all-weather before making the frame at Newmarket. Haydock winner Cravat failed to cope with a 6lb rise last time but wining partner Oisin Murphy is back on board while Gaelic Silver can be forgiven a poor effort in soft ground at Sandown last time. Ifan has recorded both wins so far at Wolverhampton and is upped 4lb for his recent success, so it's EVERVESCENT that gets the nod racing off the same mark as when narrowly beaten at Newbury last time.
