Verdict
Taxmeifyoucan has only beaten one home the last twice and would require a return to form to get competitive in this. BOSS MAN FRED (NAP) could be another for Dan and Harry Skelton as he was value for more than his winning margin over this trip at Warwick last time. Flower Of Scotland looks to be back in the groove and Robinstown has a chance if forgiven last month's run at Thurles. Arthur's Seat was third stepping up to 3m at Newbury but has another quarter-mile to cover here having done most of his racing over 2m.
