In depth
Verdict
Strait Of Magellan is upped 5lb for finishing second at Lingfield a fortnight ago but Doctor Kehoe and AZURE AMOUR have been raised only 3lb each for their respective wins at Bath. Rod Millman's charge makes most appeal of that pair with Josh Quinn claiming 7lb. Lingfield winner Idle Talker was well beaten when runner-up over 1m6f last time but looks best of the rest back over today's trip.
