In depth
Verdict
Sharpaten, at his favourite distance, should find this easy enough before moving on to better things. The form of his recent Wincanton run has worked out well and he handles any ground. Through The Rye could be his biggest danger having shown his best form last time out in a decent race at Kempton while Talarive will arrive here full of confidence following two victories last month. He needs to improve a fair bit to take a hand here. Nowell House showed he was still in love with the game last time out at Newcastle. A repeat of that performance should see him go close. Time Of Flight returns from a spell of chasing and on the best of his form looks well-in here.
