Verdict

Another wide open contest in which many can be given chances on there best form but the draw may play a crucial as those drawn low usually have a big advantage. Fortune Island won well last time out at Kempton when defeating Prairie Falcon and although he has risen in the weights he is still well in on his best form and he will be hard to beat. Big Moment was a fair fourth behind Chai Waller last time over a shorter trip, this longer trip should suit and he should go well with the booking of Daryl Holland catching the eye. Flownaway won in game fashion last time out when defeating Establishment, however he has risen in the weights and may struggle under his penalty. Direct Bearing could also go well with conditions in his favour and he also looks well weighted on his best form. Bourgeois was group class a couple of seasons ago and looked back to his best when winning at Haydock last time any market move should be noted. Of the remainder Royal Cavalier is on a fair mark and could run well at a big price.
