Verdict

Consequences hasn’t really fired since second at Doncaster in June but is eased in grade and 3lb lower now. Makanah is upped in class but has own two of his last three, as has Airglow. The latter’s stable companion Feebs would have claims on his form at the start of the campaign and others to consider include Machree, Harrogate and Dandy's Beano. RUMSHAK showed excellent speed in first-time blinkers when making all at Newcastle. If the headgear works a second time, Michael Dods’ sprinter could take some pegging back here as he’ll handle any give in the ground and Callum Rodriguez’ just about cancels out a 4lb rise.
