Verdict
More than half of this field are previous course winners. Maraweh won this in 2016 but was pulled up last year and has been raised 6lb since his latest neck second over course and distance when ahead of Late Date. Mill Forge won over 2m4f here last month but the cheekpieces will need to work a second time on the 11-year-old. Wyfield Rose is hinting at a revival while Native Optimist produced a better effort last time at Ayr. Top Billing has plummeted down the weights but Benechenko is looking very one paced. JET MASTER was only fifth in this last year and races off the same mark but he usually takes on better opposition than this and could benefit from a switch back to hurdles.
