Verdict
Living Leader had a couple of runs under his belt before winning last year's renewal but has his first start since October this time round. FLYING FANTASY carries 6lb extra for a recent success at Wolverhampton but won off today's higher mark last year and Stuart Williams' charge can go in again. Caledonia Laird never figured over a mile last time but was in fine form over today's trip before that while Surewecan has been in the mix of late as he looks to bring a long losing run to an end. Maymyo is not badly weighted but has done all of his winning over 6f so far.
