Verdict
Southwell winner Aronius had excuses at Taunton last month but stamina remains an issue. ECLAIR DES SABLONS left previous form behind here last week and, though carrying a penalty, could be the one to beat again if in the same mood as Emma Lamb keeps finding one too good and is now 0-18. Yaazaain has not been improving but cheekpieces could have a positive effect while Presuming Ed ran well enough over a similar trip at Taunton last time to merit consideration.
