In depth
Verdict
Khaysar won over course last time out in good style and if he stays this extra distance he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Northern Tennessee won a bumper in May on good to soft ground and he has been steadily progressing over hurdles and if he copes with the ground with the Brendan Powell horses in good form he should go close. Stewart's Lad was only half a length behind Khaysar and if he is in good form after a small break there again should be not much between them. Autcaesar Autnihil is from a top yard and if he is backed the hint should be taken.
