Verdict
Eddiemaurice ran his best race so far at Wincanton in January and can compete off the same mark. Guantoshol has to go on the short-list as his latest third at Wincanton came in a higher grade. Discay's connections will be hoping a hood can bring about the necessary improvement but The Coffee Hunter definitely needs more and Hill Fort is a bit more exposed than some. Destiny's Gold will probably find at least one too good again so this can go to APTERIX, who is back on a decent mark judged on his latest second to an in-form rival at Market Rasen.
