In depth
Verdict
It should pay to concentrate on the top two here, Air Attache and Epsilo de La Ronce, with the latter taken to add to his course and distance victory gained in March. Since then Steve Flook's veteran has popped in again, following up his victory of the year before at Warwick. He seems to get on well with Dave Mansell and should make a bold bid to master Air Attache. The latter had his main rival behind when they met at Hereford but the longer trip and slight turnaround in the weights should favour the selection. Mind you, Air Attache liked fast ground when trained by Charlie Mann and will go well. Of the rest, Carbonado and Sacrifice can make their presence felt without being good enough to upset the principals.
