Verdict
Get Home Now is back on a winning mark so could be interesting but WHATTHEBUTLERSAW made a very encouraging reappearance following a lay-off when second at Huntingdon in May and this longer trip is in his favour. I'm Always Trying won over 3m2f here in June but The Detainee has twice run poorly since his second at Perth. Royal Irish Hussar is on a long losing run and best watched having finished tailed off on his first start for new connections.
