Verdict
Tuscan Point scored on the Polytrack here last time, having gone close when runner-up at Catterick prior to that. Birkenhead (third) has a bit to find with the former on running at Catterick, so the vote goes the way of MAHARAJAS EXPRESS. Ian Williams' charge ran fresh over 6f here on his return to the fray, but he looks on a tempting mark back over the minimum trip on the evidence of last season's success at Chester, so he gets the nod.
Expert View Verdict
TUSCAN POINT is is fine form and could follow-up his win here last time. Shalaa Asker is also in good heart and is the obvious danger while last year's winner So Smart might go well at a price being largely consistent.
