Verdict
Trevada and MULLINAREE are both upped in trip but can fight out the finish of this. The latter is just preferred, though will have to settle better than he did at Sedgefield last week to get home. The Bold Thady could be there to pick up the pieces if stamina becomes an issue with Aldsworth arguably best of the rest ahead of Fancy Your Chances and Per Vino Veritas.
