    Verdict

    KILRONAN HIGH has never won on ground this quick, which is a slight worry, but his second to Kilbree Kid at Perth last month looks the best piece of recent form on offer and he can go one better here, despite a 2lb rise. Kassis won over a similar trip at Huntingdon earlier this month but was well behind when the selection was second at Cheltenham in the spring and re-opposes on worse terms. Still Believing is better over further and has a poor strike-rate while Aces Over Eights finished tailed off on her reappearance after a summer break here, though this longer trip may now suit.
