Verdict
Yarmouth winner Seven Questions is upped in trip and races on soft going for the first time under a penalty. BARNABY also steps up in distance having missed the break at Beverley but seemed to handle the testing ground on that occasion so gets a speculative vote. Fighting Wren may also figure after a debut at York last month while Jersey Rocs and Spanish Rock are newcomers to keep an eye on.
