In depth

Verdict

Moors Myth gets a narrow vote in a wide open seller, Rowan Pursuit and Exit Smiling may provide most danger. The Barry Hills trained five-year-old returned from along lay off earlier this month and showed plenty of promise behind Star Magnitude. He drops into selling company for the first time and looks the one to be on. Rowan Pursuit has a bit to find with the selection on official ratings but is in good form and may be capable of reaching the frame. Exit Smiling ran no sort of race last time but had previously finished an excellent second behind Nisr over course and distance. On that running he holds Rowan Pursuit and a repeat effort should see him involved in the finish. Of the others Ladies Knight and Labelled With Love are capable of going close on their best form, but Moors Myth could be better than this class and gets our vote.
