Verdict
Udogo hasn't improved since scoring here in December and was put in his place by Wither Hills last month. The winner didn't enhance the form behind Poitin a couple of weeks ago while All Body And Soul faces a much stiffer test than when landing a maiden in January. Whatever It Takes finished virtually tailed off in Poitin's race but had been in good form previously and that last run should be ignored. TEMASEK STAR is on a hat-trick after victories over the trip last month and though he's had to battle hard he still looks on a fair mark with Conor McGovern's claim a major bonus so is taken to shake off a 6lb rise. Dew Line made his racecourse debut here in May and though well beaten he improved at the end of the season and is one to keep an eye on.
