Verdict
Maymyo tries for a hat-trick under top weight but he has a bit to find with Satchville Flyer on all-weather form on the spring. Picansort's victory at Brighton was his first in 19 attempts on Turf while Tidal's Baby has been struggling to get his head in front, though could make the frame again. Stuart Williams won this last year so Harwoods Star might be a worth a market check and Armelle is starting to look well treated but ESSAKA hasn't done much wrong lately, is suited by undulating tracks and has his favoured ground so gets a tentative vote.
