Verdict

La Fritillaire remains 4lb higher than when scoring over 2m at Ripon in May but has placed over a longer trip here subsequently. Wordiness won at Doncaster in July but hasn’t figured since while Tectonic has been placed over similar trips at Musselburgh and Ayr recently. INGLEBY HOLLOW has also been thereabouts of late and he makes more appeal having won off a higher mark over 2m at Thirsk last year. Tuscan Gold narrowly beat Madam Lilibet here back in April and Almost Gemini was placed in an amateurs' race last time.
