In depth
Verdict
STAND GUARD looks like racking up another win in this. He finished second over 2m at Southwell in February but is unbeaten in six starts over shorter trips this year. Right Stuff is attempting to take revenge for an earlier defeat re-opposing on better terms, but was beaten five lengths by John Butler's charge here last month and will do well to reverse running. The remaining pair have little chance with the principals at today's weights though Dew Reward is preferred to Irons On Fire on official figures.
