In depth
Verdict
Go Sakhee wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut at Nottingham and is entitled to go well here. Headgear might improve Majestic Sun but Needless Shouting already looks exposed and Garraun has disappointed this year. Khee Society won at Bath last month but that was a poor contest. ALLERGIC REACTION was well backed returning to the Turf at Leicester last month and didn't disappoint. He never looked like being caught and could take some catching off a 6lb higher mark here if Richard Hughes is allowed to dictate.
