Verdict
BROCTUNE RED won over track and trip in November and a recent second back here suggests he can score again off his current mark. Dramatista finished behind the selection before disappointing at Southwell but can figure while the veteran Mo Henry has been thereabouts over 6f but makes a belated debut over this longer trip. Like Sugar and Pholas are the least exposed with preference for the latter.
