Verdict
Heathcliff will like the ground but usually needs a couple or runs to put him straight. Raslan appears to be going backwards but Caddie Master is progressive, though has gone up 15lb since completing his hat-trick at Newton Abbot. King Of Dubai won over 2m6f here in January and returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter in April but may need this while stablemate Dream Alliance and Peter Bowen's Always Waining are better over fences. NO PRINCIPLES made a very promising return to action when fifth at Aintree last month and, 2lb lower here, can land this for the Julian Smith yard.
