Verdict
It's hard to get away from JEBEL TARA (nap), who looked a horse with a good deal in hand of his current mark when bolting up (despite meeting a considerable amount of trouble) at Musselburgh last week. A penalty looks nowhere near enough to stop him returned to Fibresand (handles the surface). Upper Lambourn may follow him home.[Richard Young]

Strong-traveller who handles Fibresand and shaped like a horse with a good deal in hand of current mark when overcoming significant trouble in running to win in ready fashion at Musselburgh last week; drawn on outside but big chance under penalty back on this surface.

Verdict
THE YANK (nap) appreciated being upped to 1m4f when third two starts ago, faring best of those held up, and the step back up in trip should suit after his fourth over an inadequate 9.4f last time. Minority Interest got off the mark in this visor last time and is feared most, while Uncle Roger and El Libertador shouldn't be far away, although the last named is on a losing run of 23.
