In depth
Verdict
Not much strength in depth to a weak contest that is little better than a seller. Tass Heel has been struggling to last home over further and has shown a consistent level of form over this trip of late to suggest that he will prove hard to beat. The son Of Danehill is still a maiden but has dropped to a lenient mark and a repeat of his placed effort in slightly better company at Carlisle last time may suffice. Rebelle ran well despite finding trouble over 1m6f last time and won't be inconvenienced by the return to this trip so should prove a danger off the same mark. Ocean Line is unexposed and open to further improvement so may prove best of the remainder.
