    Verdict

    It's a long time since Brigadoon won though he's the only one of these to score over the course and distance and he's dropped markedly in the weights. The three-year-old Gold Merlion looked a smart prospect in two juvenile starts but has been beaten a long way in both runs this season so CHANT (NAP) looks the one to be on. Ann Duffield's charge made all under a big weight at Pontefract last weekend and can race from the same mark here. Comedy King has been in poor form and hasn't won since 2014 while The Kid landed a 1m6f seller here in June.
