Verdict
Cafe Au Lait has been a beaten favourite in his last three starts and hasn't won since 2014. Pertuis has won ten races on the Flat but is still a maiden after 15 starts over timber though has been placed six times. Bohernagore gained a surprise victory at Fontwell in December on good going but couldn't handle much softer conditions on a return visit. Noble Galileo ran a bit better at Market Rasen and is only lightly raced as is the four-year-old CALARULES. Tim Easterby's grey couldn't quite get to Stepover on his handicap debut at Doncaster but is one of the few here with scope and this isn't the strongest of races. Minella Suite has had very little experience and hasn't shown much since arriving from the point-to-point field.
