Verdict
Schinken Otto could probably run around here blindfold and he won't mind the fast ground. He's very well handicapped on his old form but is probably on a downward curve now. Strobe came good at Bangor last month and shouldn't be far away again while both Otto Quercus and City Ground would be thereabouts if back to their best. Maizy Missile is difficult to catch right, however, and would have preferred more rain. RIDDLEOFTHESANDS has proved frustrating to follow but has enough ability to win this off his current mark and gets a tentative vote after a short break.
