      Verdict

      Hatcher and Nelson River are best watched at present and Elixir De Nutz also appears to be struggling for form. Donald McCain can get one ready at home so Onthefrontfoot is worth a market check, though Notlongtillmay and XCITATIONS make more appeal. Both of the latter’s two victories last season, including one here, came over this trip though he didn’t shape badly over 2m4f at Wetherby on his return. The bottom weight made a winning start over fences at Wetherby and should have plenty more to offer.
