Verdict

Katie Walsh has travelled over from Ireland to partner the in-form CONAS TAOI and Paul Morgan's stayer can notch a fifth victory in six starts despite a further 10lb rise in the weights. Quinz is still capable of decent form and can give Gina Andrews a good ride while Umberto D'olivate showed plenty of promise on his reappearance behind Saroque at Leicester. No Duffer is another likely to improve for a recent run but Silvergrove hasn't raced since a second at Haydock in April and has gone up in the weights again.
