In depth
Verdict
The unsettled weather doesn't make this any easier as Circuitous would have decent claims on his return if getting some cut in the ground. A handful of these had been running well before a below par effort behind Duke Cosimo at Doncaster last time. Orbit The Moon came out best in seventh with Sunraider, Klynch and BACHOTHEQUE further behind. The latter began last season off a 13lb higher mark and gets a speculative vote to come good again having dropped further down the weights. Al Khan could bounce back at any time off his current mark while Llewellyn is another who needs it soft.
