Verdict
Mr Top Hat has only won once but has several placed efforts to his credit in this sort of company and a visor may aid his cause. Documenting won a maiden here in July but dropped into Class 4 company for his latest success at Lingfield and is 6lb higher. AREEN HEART is ultra-consistent and his two recent narrow defeats have come at a higher level so this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Sha La La La Lee has only run on the all-weather once, scoring over the track and trip on his reappearance in April so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem. Critical Thinking has a good record around here though at a lower level.
