Verdict
Lisa Harrison's pair Solway Legend and Presented were both engaged over fences here yesterday so wouldn't be penalised if successful and turned out again in this. Drop A Gear's lack of a recent run is a worry and Authorized Cadeaux has plenty to prove after a couple of lacklustre efforts. Martin Chuzzlewit has been showing a bit more lately but has never fulfilled early potential. Stay In My Heart refused to race last time at Hexham and had been reluctant to line-up when successful at that track earlier. WYFIELD ROSE wouldn't want any rain and is high enough in the weights now but has form over course and distance so gets a tentative vote.
