In depth
Verdict
Arty Campbell wins his fair share and seems to like it here. Master Grey is 12lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in May but has won since at Salisbury. So Near So Farhh has won his last two over course and distance but only beat Jacob Cats a short-head in the first of those and was behind dour stayer Atomic Jack on sift going at Lingfield earlier. Make Good won over 1m6f at Nottingham but that was his first victory since his two-year-old days. ROSIE ROYALE gets one more chance to prove she stays 2m as she was staying on strongly over 1m6f at Bath last time having won over 1m4f here before.
