Verdict
Placed at Beverley last time, Cornborough won off a similar mark last year and should be in the mix. Swansway has been thereabouts lately and went close here back in May while TAN ARABIQ (NAP) was beaten only a length over track and trip on his penultimate start having slid down the weights. Mick Appleby’s charge has won off higher marks in the past and gets the vote. Vision Clear came up short over 1m6f last time but is not out of this while Helioblu Bareliere is also unexposed and is handicapping for the first time.
