        Verdict

        Wait For The Will, who comes here at the top of his form, is a good ride for an Amateur and can land his biggest prize to date. 5lbs higher than when successful in this event last year, Rutland Chantry must have a fair chance of following up. He to comes into this race in good form and will make a bold bid, while Castleshane and Danakil are others to consider.
