Verdict

RESTIVE landed a double here including this race at this time last year. He’s reunited with winning partner Luke Morris today and should make a bold bid. Amitie Waltz remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Bath last month but handles this surface while Vivernus has won twice in only six starts for Adrian Nicholls and debuts on the Fibresand. Star Ascending won both here and at Wolverhampton early in the year and is back on a winning mark while Scrafton won over 1m6f here in May and is 3lb lower today.
