Verdict
Leopardstown runner-up Half Nutz is preferred to compatriot Akmaam while Yaaser won at Musselburgh last month and Craven scored at Leicester earlier and went close at Thirsk last time. Le Reveur’s recent victory at Newmarket came over a mile and Billy Mill also drops down in trip. Dionysian can figure on his second start gelded but CHOLA EMPIRE placed in a tougher contest at Chelmsford a week ago and can race off the same mark in this.
