Verdict
Fit For The Job won this last year but has been in poor form subsequently. Castle Guest won over a mile on fast ground here last month and made a bold bid to defy a 5lb rise and an extra quarter-mile on a return visit. COMPLICIT (NAP) won six races for Paul Cole though not since December 2014. He's joined Jonny Levins and caught the eye over a trip too short here last month so he's taken to get back on the winning trail. Jaqen H'ghar completed a double last October and didn't reappear until last month where he's produced two decent performances so he should now be ready for this. Bobby Jean, who has won here in the past, would be a contender with more ease in the ground while fellow youngsters Prove The Point and Special Focus could also do with more rain.
