Verdict
Kasbah is 7lb higher than when beating Seeking Magic to win last year’s renewal. Merdon Castle and Suqoor have to race off much higher marks back on the all-weather but BOOMERANG BOB won off today’s mark at Lingfield earlier this year. He caught the eye with a late surge at Ascot last time and could go close in this. The unexposed Clear Water drops down to 6f for the first time while Flowers On Venus won a claimer over 7f here last month. Ustinov was well beaten in a tougher sprint at Ripon last time and is 6lb higher than his earlier success at Haydock while Dougan finished behind the selection at Ascot earlier.
