Verdict
Some of these are old rivals and it may be a case of working out whose turn it is today to get their head in front. Sir Geoffrey is possibly better on Fibresand and Moorhouse Lad usually finds at least one too good while Tyfos also struggles to get his head in front, but Ladweb arrives off the back of a win at Brighton and Dawn Catcher had Give Us A Belle behind when scoring over a slightly shorter trip here last month. CARDINAL left his effort too late behind Taurus Twins here 10 days ago but has only been raised a pound and couldn't have had a better draw. He might have preferred easier going but should still prove hard to beat.
