In depth
Verdict
Wind In My Sails and Keeper's Choice are previous course and distance winners and have each-way claims. Grapevine has placed the last twice but the drop to a mile could be problematic and recent Haydock winner Bristol Missile makes more appeal, despite an 8lb rise. Arctic Sea has been knocking on the door this year but finished a length behind Dreaming Of Paris at Lingfield last time. Redgrave found only one too good at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and is probably on a decent mark but REGIMENTED may be better treated and got going too late at Lingfield last Saturday. Back over a mile here, he might be the one to beat.
