Verdict

This looks a modest maiden but we'd be prepared to take on Beverley and Carlisle runner-up Intruder again as he's not really looked like winning in five runs so far. Captain Revelation finished last on his only previous try on Turf while Lackaday ran poorly on his latest start at Salisbury. Makin A Statement wasn't beaten far over 5f at Newcastle in April but hasn't been seen since. SLOVAK arrives off the back of a very promising debut at Wolverhampton and can get off the mark here if handling the switch in surface, though it would be no surprise to see a big run from newcomer Regal Missile.
