In depth
Verdict
Mick Easterby runs Kalk Bay and Barren Brook but both may need further to show their best nowadays. Ascription is 8lb higher than when scoring at Haydock last year and Oddysey is up 10lb for her victory at the same track in August. Bling King will have come on for his recent return to action and can figure but the vote goes to AZRAEL. A winner at Yarmouth a fortnight ago, Alan McCabe's charge remains on a winning compared to his best form and can go in again.
