Verdict

HOPEFORTHEBEST has improved for the step up to today’s distance and won over track and trip with a bit too spare. He can defy a 4lb rise. Come To Pass has been thereabouts both on the all-weather and at Brighton last time while Barney's Angel placed over 7f at Southwell on his reappearance and should stay this far. Carey Street looks best of the rest.
