Verdict
Billy Ranger opened his account over 1m6f at Carlisle last time but is 6lb higher whereas YOURS TRULY has been raised only 2lb for winning on the all-weather at Lingfield. Saeed Bin Suroor's charge is worth another try over this longer trip and is preferred to Ingleby Hollow. The latter should run his usual solid race but remains 12lb higher than his course and distance success back in June. Cassandane won a seller by six lengths at Beverley but is facing tougher opposition in this.
