      Verdict

      Salam Zayed is 2lb out of the handicap and wasn't very convincing in a Class 6 at Nottingham though his earlier victory here was a much better effort. Revich made all over this trip at Epsom and is just 4lb higher so should go well again but Blonde Warrior, another front-runner, will have difficulty cutting across from stall 9 and is overlooked despite being well up to this class. LINCOLN PARK, yet another who likes to lead, was in stall 3 when making all in a better race than this here in May. His young rider will need to get him away quickly but if doing so will be the one to catch. Friendly Advice looks better over 6f or a stiffer track.
