Verdict

Micky Hammond's upwardly-mobile FOSTER'SISLAND looked to have plenty left in the tank when scooting home here last month and he can defy a 7 lb rise in the weights. Serious Ego teed himself up nicely for this when a patiently-ridden second at Hexham and is feared most. Wetherby-third Quest For Life and the returning Lord of Kerak can fight it out for minor honours in a competitive handicap.

  1. FOSTER'SISLAND
