Verdict
The likely soft ground is not ideal for Briery Fox on his return to action and the same comment applies to Fit To Drive, who won on a faster surface at Sandown last time. Promising Anshan was pulled up on his only outing in soft ground but Cornish Sett will handle the going and showed signs of a revival when runner-up at Newbury last time. TRIGGERMAN won over 3m1f at Folkestone before coming a cropper at Taunton recently when still in with a chance. If fully recovered from that mishap, he looks capable of taking this.
