In depth

Verdict

Half of this field are previous course and distance winners. Of that quartet, More Than Likely is preferred to Equally Fast, Portelet Bay and Amasova at the weights but he did finish behind Iconic Knight at Chepstow nine days ago and that one was beaten by Street Parade at Brighton six days previously. ENDURING has been campaigned at a higher level. He’s on a long losing run but is now well treated as a result and should beat Vape off level weights.
