In depth

Verdict

The only three-year-old in the line-up, Body Language, took an age to warm up over Beverley's two miles last time and may find this on the short side. Tillietudlem had Mason Hindmarsh a head behind at Catterick and there's nothing between them here with the runner-up being 1lb better off. FALCUN finished runner-up over two miles here last time but looked all over a winner at this trip and though raised 3lb for the run can go one better and gain his first success. Finellas Fortune is still a maiden after 15 starts and the remaining pair are out of form.
