Verdict
EMPTY THE TANK is now a pound lower than when successful over course and distance just over a year ago. He didn't really take to fences here last time and looks better treated than recent winners Crown Hill and Chakisto. Norse Light was behind the selection at Huntingdon in the spring and is worse off at the weights while Flashman hasn't really been firing lately. None of the others make much appeal.
