Verdict
MAOI CHINN TIRE and Hallstatt are course specialists who arrive off the back of recent victories. Jennie Candlish's charge has top weight but looks sure to give account again under Jamie Spencer and just gets the nod. Champagne Champ made a promising reappearance at Doncaster and should be back in the winner's enclosure soon. Nam Hai finished ahead of Sweet Selection and Scrafton when third over 1m6f at Goodwood while Doesyourdogbite should also appreciate the step up in distance following a one-paced fourth over 1m4f at Windsor. Riptide is a thorough stayer and preferred to Bath fourth Our Folly of the others.
