In depth

Verdict

Eager Igor has been running consistently well of late and deserves to get his head in front, getting the vote to do just that ahead of Sangreal and Stanley George. The last mentioned was very disappointing on his reappearance at Newmarket last month but is better than he showed that day and has to be respected. Perfect Courtesy failed to progress from a promising reappearance effort at Windsor last time but may have found the going too testing for him that day so may do better back on faster ground here. Alan Berry's Snow Dancer has more to do off a 6lb higher mark than when scoring at Beverley last time, while Laish Ya Hajar is less exposed than most but needs to improve. Karl Burke's Sangreal is similarly lightly raced and is another worthy of a mention but Eager Igor has solid claims on recent form and he gets the vote.
