Verdict

The day's feature has drawn a competitive field and last year's winner MIXBOY is taken to repeat the dose despite being 11lb higher today. Despite crashing out at Ayr in April, he has proved his well being on the Flat since and should be well prepared for his return here. Depending on which Pain Au Chocolat turns up, he could give the selection a run for his money, but he is not easy to trust from a betting perspective and from much lower in the weights, Chain Of Beacons has to be taken seriously given the nature of his Kelso success. Ut Majeur Aulmes enters calculations and Archive also make appeal.
