Verdict
This race looks to be very much at the mercy of Sigwells Club Boy. Bill Turner sends his youngster a long way after his eyecatching fourth at Bath just over three weeks ago and is now dropped in grade in what looks to be a fairly weak event. Hilltime should prove the selection's principal rival being dropped in grade as well after a series of fair efforts. Dawn Alibi has a bit to find on her fourth place in a Catterick seller, whilst the other three simply don't look up to the task.
