Verdict

Canadian Run scored over track and trip in September but a 9lb rise proved beyond him on his recent reappearance. Lionheart won twice over shorter trips for Luca Cumani last year and has his first start for a new yard while Patriotic has to race off a higher mark back on the Polytrack on his return to action. The Tichborne is upped in class having won here last month and Emkanaat went close over 7f at this track at the same meeting. But top weight VEERAYA makes most appeal on his latest third in a tougher handicap than this over course and distance and Julia Feilden's charge gets the nod.
