Verdict
Acadian Angel won a seller over 1m2f at Redcar before going close over the same trip here. But YOUR BAND has placed over shorter trips since winning over 1m4f at Lingfield and he may prove the one to side with back over today's distance. Mulsanne Chase has plenty to find with the selection on latest running while Bird For Life's best recent efforts have been over 2m and Demophon has failed to build on an earlier second at Chelmsford. One Liner finished closer here last time and looks best of the remainder.
