Verdict
Invincible Larne and Split Down South will need to step up on recent efforts but the remaining trio all won last time. Nigel Nott is penalised for winning over the minimum trip here though scored over course and distance earlier while Diamond Dougal has been raised 4lb for winning at Wolverhampton, though has scored off a higher mark on the Turf. German raider GAMGOOM won his latest outing at Dortmund and made a successful trip over to this track back in February when scoring off a 7lb higher mark - he is reunited with winning partner Hayley Turner today.
