In depth
Verdict
Excavator had no obvious excuses when failing to land the odds at Kempton last time after a promising debut at Bath in April. He'll be looking to make amends here but may struggle giving weight to MUSICAL VALLEY. The latter stepped up on his previous form when just failing at Bath last month with today's rival Triggerlo well beaten and Tom Dascombe's charge looks capable of going one better today. Come To Mind has shown nothing so far and is easily dismissed.
