Verdict

The vote goes to WAISTCOAT, who has made a good start for this yard and a 3 lb rise for his recent Chepstow success looks manageable. The one caveat where he is concerned is that his three previous runs on the all-weather haven't been among his best efforts, but he's evidently improved since the latest of those back in February. Newfangled is second choice ahead of Falmouth Lad and Zolder.
