    Verdict

    INNOKO is upped 3lb for winning at Chepstow but drops down a grade and has won over track and trip before. Tony Carroll’s charge can go in again. Flutterbee has finished runner-up in both starts so far this year but is now 10lb higher than his win at Brighton last term and Celtic Ava is preferred having landed a hat-trick on the all-weather earlier this year. Dalaki has scored over the course and distance and is back on a winning mark.
