Verdict
The extended trip may be too much for a few of these, including Epee Celeste, but it should be no problem for RAPHIELL, who got off the mark over fences over 3m2f at Southwell last time, as he's from the same family as useful stayers Whale Of A Knight and Jungle Jinks. Midnight Macarena beat some experienced handicappers over 3m at Chepstow eight days ago and can probably build on that effort but Get Ready To Go is very one-paced and still a maiden under Rules. The others are either out of form or have plenty to find at the weights.
