Verdict

LEADENHALL has shaped as if building up to something and he can capitalise on this drop in grade. Great Blasket is attractively handicapped with a recent run under his belt, whilst The Sweet Escape has largely been in good form this season and should be in the mix again back at the scene of his April win.
