Verdict

Sirajiah got off the mark last time at Windsor but a penalty could be problematic, as could faster ground. Case Key went close at Newmarket off this mark after winning at Leicester, however, and Highly Sprung looks in good nick, though is still on a career-high mark. MAZZINI beat a subsequent winner at Newcastle and is back on track. James Fanshawe's charge has a 7lb hike to contend with but may be equal to the task. Florencio and course and distance winner Fang add to the interest but Showing Off is in danger of becoming disappointing.
