In depth
Verdict
None of these can be easily dismissed at the weights but TOMBI looks to have the strongest recent form. He won a seller at Wolverhampton last time, beating higher-rated rivals than Steelcut defeated when successful at the same track, and Keith Dalgleish's charge gets the nod to follow up. Unlimited has a bit to find with the selection on latest running and is best over 7f nowadays, while the same could be said of Arabian Flight, who scored over a longer trip at Lingfield earlier this month. Jimmy The Lollipop is out of form and also reverting to sprinting here.
