Verdict
Twoshotsoftequila went close at Carlisle recently while Anti Bridgie finished third at the same fixture. KAYF HERNANDO won at Southwell back in April and will be sharper for a recent comeback run. He may also improve on his second start after wind surgery and gets the vote. Shanty Alley and Court At Slip return to action with the latter preferred having landed a double earlier this year.
