    Verdict

    Margaret Dumont and Ben Lilly arrive on the back of victories on the all-weather. Both attempt this longer trip for the first time with the latter preferred dropping down a grade but there are no doubts about ARABESCATO (NAP) staying the trip. The latter won over 2m at Lingfield earlier and returned an easy winner over a marathon trip at Pontefract last time when eased down in the closing stages. Sashenka has won over 1m6f on the level in the past and placed over hurdles last month and is preferred to Victoriano.
