Verdict
A couple of these are expected to improve from recent comeback runs, including It's All About You. He scored off a similar mark over C&D last summer, but it's SAVROLA who makes most appeal. Dianne Sayer's charge struggled over a shorter trip at Hamilton on his first start since going close at York last July, but a reproduction of that effort on the Knavesmire should see him bang there at the finish. Solar Pass and Cascade Hall look the pick of the remainder.
