Verdict
Here And Now won this in 2018 but was well beaten last year and returns from a long break. PLATFORM NINETEEN won here in September and reappeared with an easy victory at Beverley before a very good run over 2m4f at Goodwood. He still looks on a fair mark as does Irish raider Arcadian Sunrise, who landed a lucrative handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. Scaramanga had also been in winning form over timber before landing a Class 2 handicap at Newbury while Elysian Flame finished just in front of the selection at Goodwood though may just be tapped for pace over this trip. Prince Imperial takes a step-up in class and some rain would aid his cause.
