Verdict
Kelso winner Master Of The Game attempts a longer trip after disappointing at Wetherby and would prefer a faster surface. But Midnight Belle has a shout on his recent placed efforts with Ben Poste taking 5lb off his back. Golden Sparkle makes a quick reappearance under a penalty having won at Bangor on Friday and should go well again but BIG WATER (NAP) makes most appeal. He was beaten at Doncaster last time but scored in testing ground over 2m4f here before that.
