Verdict
The consistent Headley George will likely be in the mix once again but his victory came in a classified race. Anniemation is another classified winner while Violet's Lads earlier success here came over a mile. Kempton winner Like Sugar has something to prove over the distance judged on a recent effort at Leicester and a chance is taken on DOVE DIVINE, who posted a better effort over track and trip last time having slid down the weights.
