Verdict

Hollie Doyle teams up with last year’s winner SIR PLATO, who has dropped 4lb in the ratings – a repeat may be on the cards. Dundory has yet to win in this country but has finished second twice at Wolverhampton this year. Glasvegas is nicely treated if he can rediscover his best form while Arcadian Nights won over 7f here last year and found only one too good at Wolverhampton on his latest outing.
