Verdict

SLIDING DOORS was third in a decent race at Aintree on his reappearance and only run at this trip. He remains open to improvement and is at the right end of the handicap. Muthabir looks attractively weighted and should be nearing peak fitness after his comeback run, whilst Call To Order could be dangerous with the yard showing signs of a return to form.
