Verdict
A really competitive handicap and one that plenty can have a case made for them. With Coeur Tantre ensuring no hanging about, the improving MCGROARTY gets the vote despite a small question mark about the suitability of the track (looks a galloper). The way he was sent to the front to put the race to bed at Worcester marked him out as a smart stayer, and he take this en route to better things. Trevisani has impressed in a couple of wins around here and is another that will appreciate a good pace. Whatsdjazz keeps improving too and can go close. Stamp Your Feet has to prove himself at the trip but looks one to follow this year whatever happens here.
