In depth
Verdict
Winning debutante Azma was a losing favourite here last month but it's too soon to write her off as she steps up in distance. Silver Dixie also tries a longer trip after finishing runner-up to a Mark Johnston-trained inmate last time. The latter is represented by the returning Raven's Tower today and makes more appeal than recent course winner Shaolin but the vote goes to PENCOMBE. A close-up fifth behind Dali's Lover over course and distance earlier this month, a couple of winners have already come out of the race and David Simcock's Teofilo colt can open his account in this.
