Verdict
AZRAEL separated a couple of higher rated horses when runner-up in a seller at Wolverhampton last time. It's been some time since Alan McCabe's charge won but he looks up to landing this off his current mark. Maiden winner Tight Lipped has claims with a 5lb claimer helping his cause and Silver Alliance is another recent Polytrack winner with a shout. Bloodsweatandtears is back on a winning mark and went close at Lingfield last time while the lightly-raced Tweedle Dee has scope for improvement on her return from a lengthy absence.
