Verdict

WOTABREEZE won at Ripon last month and can effectively race off a lower mark with his amateur rider’s allowance taken into account. He may prove good enough after going close at Epsom last week. Aelius represents last year’s winning yard and has slipped down the handicap this year while Russian Royale returns to the Flat having won over hurdles at Hexham last month. Dream Free was placed here back in May and King Of The Celts has gone well in these events before though arrives badly out of form.
