Verdict

Big Baz has only been raised 4lb for beating Prince Of Johanne in a higher grade over course and distance last month and must have every chance of following up. Silvery Moon and Norse Blues are well treated on their best form and Trail Blaze could take some pegging back if allowed an easy lead. Ingleby Angel won in this grade over track and trip just over a year ago and has faced some stiff tasks this season while the ground will suit Marcret and Le Chat D'Or. But Richard Fahey is wisely using Jack Garrity's claim to counteract the penalty OUR BOY JACK collected for winning at Ayr eight days ago. He's never won over 1m but this could be his chance to prove that he stays the trip with the going in his favour again.
