Verdict
Best Boy Barney is the highest rated of these but hasn't managed a victory in five previous starts on the track whereas veteran Double Bank won over a shorter trip here in 2014 and showed he was no back number when successful at Taunton two runs ago. CYGNET arrives off the back of a good run between the flags at Larkhill in February. He won twice under Rules in May of last year and will enjoy the good ground so could be worth an interest at the likely odds. Iron Chancellor is a through stayer but has been a little out of sorts lately.
