Verdict
Event Of Sivola finished 11 lengths behind MOROZOV COCKTAIL at Bangor earlier this year and is only 2lb better off. The top weight was below par when favourite over 4m here last time but this drop back in trip will help. Ex S'Elance has done well back in handicaps this year while Gipsy Lee Rose won this last year from a 6lb higher mark and has placed again at the track the last twice. Sir Apollo is a Sedgefield specialist and Henry Brown looks held on the form book but Maid Of Houxty goes on the shortlist having got off the mark at Newcastle.
