Verdict
Kempton winner TEQUILAMOCKINGBIRD was upped in class when runner-up here last time and gets another chance back at this level. Sooghan won a novices race here during the summer while Omniscient landed a maiden handicap at Yarmouth before returning a beaten favourite at Goodwood. State Of Bliss is unexposed on the all-weather while Carausius will be sharper for last month’s comeback run and Merseyside debuts for a new yard having won in France.
