Verdict
A case can be made for all six here although it would be a surprise if Tiraldo was bale to recapture his best form after some below par efforts of late. More interesting, at the other end of the handicap, is the topweight Filscot. Charlie Morlock's 10-year-old won with plenty in hand over course and distance last month and has every chance of following up. Course winner Stanmore should appreciate the return to this trip, while Hailstorm has yet to prove his effectiveness over this distance but has claims if getting it. Watership Down is entitled to strip fitter for his recent reappearance and could go close. Lord Broadway needs to step up on his efforts of late.
