Verdict
It's easier to find the negatives with most of these. Beau Mistral has done all of his winning so far over 5f, including at Leicester last time, and Pearl Noir also seems to prefer the minimum trip nowadays. Bush Warrior was raised 10lb for winning at Lingfield and was returned a losing favourite at Windsor last week while Seek The Fair Land hasn't won a handicap since 2013. MODERN TUTOR has not been in the best of form either but has plummeted down the weights and gets a speculative vote to bounce back dropped in class today.
