Verdict

Having regained the winning thread by the smallest of margins at Beverley last month, Langholm is likely to prove popular reverting to classified company. Another bold bid is forecast from the veteran, but it may pay to chance APPROACHING DAWN. The six-year-old arrives on the back of two creditable efforts in handicap company and he looks more than capable of scoring in these calmer waters. Abu Royal is the pick of the remainder.
