Verdict

Verdict

HELIOTROPE has not done much wrong of late. She carries some penalties for her recent wins but may well score again and complete a hat-trick. JUAN CARLOS gives weight away to all his rivals but can make the frame. MAKHACHEV is in very good form and clearly not out of it. GINGER DELIGHT likes the Polytrack and is a danger this distance. RICHARDTHEFEARLESS is not reliable but can be a menace when allowed to dictate matters. JOHNNY DRAMA and WILD FIG are consistent and capable of scoring.

Top Tip: Heliotrope (3)
Watch out for: Makhachev (2)
