Verdict
Schwartz bids for a four-timer raised a further 6lb having won over a longer trip here last time with Shirbo back in third. Tazaman was a beaten favourite when runner-up at Ripon last month while GORDONS AURA has returned a losing favourite in both starts in handicaps so far but the latter gets one more chance with his yard remaining in good form. Amazing Red finished behind the selection at Nottingham last time while Beat The Heat has been in decent form over hurdles.
