Verdict
Not many of these have serious claims, despite the big field. La Confession looked in need of a longer trip when second at Salisbury last time rather than taking today's slight drop in distance and CLASSIC FALCON makes more appeal. She was having her first start since April when fourth at Folkestone last month and can open her account with improvement likely. Inffiraaj finished a bit closer at Bath last time and should take advantage of his tumble down the weights soon while Saint Irene is another on the slide, but she remains badly out of sorts. Collectable could prove best of the rest.
