In depth
Verdict
Five of these are course and distance winners including Sterling Knight, who made a winning reappearance here last May then won three times subsequently but some rain would aid his cause. May Sonic gained his only victory on Turf here but he's better on the all-weather. NOMADIC EMPIRE spent the winter in Bahrain, where he won a handicap, and he was beaten less than a length on fast ground at Haydock last weekend. He's up to winning this though Treacherous makes a quick reappearance under a penalty after landing a Newbury handicap on Thursday, his 13th career victory. There are plenty of others with chances in an open contest.
