In a wide open contest we will take a chance with Brandy Wine, Europrime Games and Primitive Poppy could also run well. Len Lungo's seven-year-old returned from a long lay off to finish third behind Vicario in a strong race at Haydock. There should be plenty of improvement to come and he looks certain to go close in this company. Primitive Poppy was a very impressive game winner last time and still looks a very decent mark, it is difficult to see this one out of the frame. Keith Mercer is one of the best jockeys in action here and he is on board Europrime Games who is steadily improving and go well at a big price. Assumetheposition looks the pick of the others, but Brandy wine appears to have the best recent form on show and gets our vote.
