In depth
Verdict
As open as they come and the most tentative of nominations goes to Snake Skin ahead of Revolve, Makai and Revisionist. The selection has been in good form of late on turf but had previously run well in defeat over this course and distance. Her stable are in good nick at present and she has a good chance here from a good high draw. Revisionist battled well to get off the mark at the eleventh attempt just four days ago at Lingfield. Whilst he looks no stable star, he has a low mark at this stage in his career and should go well with a 6lb penalty to contend with. Medieval Maiden returns to the all-weather and warrants a look, as do the pair of Red Wine and Makai who are both very attractively weighted on old form. Revolve and Pothos Way are both consistent so could easily snatch a place, however Snake Skin gets the vote of confidence.
