Verdict

The suggestion is ELEGANT NOBLE who finished ahead of Autumn Moon and Western Wall last month and put in a good run last time out at Kenilworth. However, this looks a tight affair on the figures; there is a question mark over whether Doubling Up will be effective over this trip, while Machete Man needs to bounce back from a below-par run.
