    Verdict

    AGHILL has won over 3m4f so this stamina test should be right up his street following his comeback second over 2m7f at Stratford. He's only a pound higher than when a close-up third over even further here a year ago. Epee Celeste was successful over C&D last month but looks held by the selection on Stratford running and a bigger danger may be Nodforms Violet, lightly-raced over fences and an easy winner over 2m6f here last month. Mostly Bob has been taking on much better company so also has a chance but the fitting of a visor suggests he may not have been concentrating lately.
