Verdict
Testa Rossa won last year's renewal off the same mark and Rockweiller went close over track and trip in May though has disappointed since. SPOKESPERSON is a rare winner but just failed to catch Outlaw Torn at Newcastle on his latest start and may be good enough this time. Wolf Heart has been edging closer and Zruda posted a better effort when third at Wetherby recently. Ghostly Arc is lightly-raced and could thereabouts on only his third start handicapping.
