Verdict
A host of these won their penultimate starts but failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time. That list includes course and distance winners Deansgate and Rock Warbler while both El Principe and Tagur won at Carlisle and Equiano Springs was successful in a Beverley maiden. Acrux may well reverse running with Rock Warbler and Interlink has been placed over 6f recently. Dandys Denouement could figure now handicapping but a speculative vote goes to MAJDOOL, who has plummeted down the weights and finishing much closer over a mile here last time.
