Verdict
BASHIBA won over course and distance last month, when Biscuiteer was third, and was only beaten a neck by Dancing Juice at Redcar subsequently. He can reverse that form today with Karl Burke's charge and land this as he has the beating of Yarmouth winner Vodka Chaser on the form book. Narborough is still chasing a first victory but arrives off the back of a decent effort at Nottingham and Scoreline is better than he showed at Hamilton. The Dandy Yank would have a chance on his best form and Katja has her sights lowered a little and could be best of the rest.
