Verdict

Visibility has won four times here, the latest in this grade though he's looking a bit high in the weights. Baby Steps has three track victories to his credit and, though 3lb higher than the latest, has Laura Pearson's claim to aid his cause. Super Den's two career victories have been on Polytrack but he's well in here taking his rider's claim into consideration. Abnaa has had just one of his last 38 starts away from Tapeta, winning six times on the surface including a Southwell double last month. He's now on his highest-ever mark but looks certain to get competitive. May Night has never run over a trip this far but Masqool completed a hat-trick in the autumn and is gradually dropping back to a winnable mark. RUMNOTRED (NAP) was having only his third start when never getting close to the odds-on Kingdom Come, who won again on Saturday, but makes his handicap debut and, with normal progress, can start making up for lost time.
