Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBruce Banner found his passage blocked when going well at Beverley ten days ago, beaten just ½l off a higher mark, and he now runs off a lower weight; a genuine stayer on a sound surface, this is his chance to make amends. Taylormade Lad is a threat if he rediscovers his earlier form, while Sisterandbrother is at home over 12f despite finding 10f too short last time. Bruce Banner is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Bruce Banner
