Verdict
Ryan Moore keeps faith with EXPRESS HIMSELF having ridden the latter to victory at Haydock last month. Ed McMahon's charge overcame plenty of problems on that occasion and looks good value for more than the narrow winning-margin. Spiriting is on the upgrade having won easily at Leicester but Tizlove Regardless is upped a couple of grades after scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago. Early Morning went close in a Class 3 at Kempton last time and Ogbourne Downs is only 2lb higher than last month's win at Bath. Mitraad made a winning start over 7f on the Rowley course here though that was back in 2013 and the fact he has been persevered with suggests he retains plenty of ability.
