Verdict
ILLUSTRIOUS LAD has yet to win but it's not from want of trying and he's taken to finally get off the mark after making the frame in all three outings earlier this year. Princess Maya was over three lengths behind the selection on her penultimate start and has a bit to find but Arabian Flight can do better back on the Polytrack after a poor effort at Brighton last time. Umph has struggled off a higher mark since scoring over C&D in March while Wolverhampton nursery winner Atlantis Crossing has been raised 5lb for his return to action.
