Verdict
Plenty arrive in good heart in a competitive affair but if OLIVIA FALLOW can make the most of a decent draw and track the likely pacemakers she could well swoop late and take the prize. Only narrowly denied earlier in the week at Musselburgh, she looks on a handy enough mark and can make the trip from North Yorkshire worthwhile. There should be little to choose between King Crimson and Waseem Faris, first and second at Brighton last week, and it would not surprise if tables were turned at the revised weights. Huntsmans Close has a chance at his best but the veteran Humidor rates the main treat on the back of an excellent effort at Glorious Goodwood last time.
