        Verdict

        A high draw is a big plus here and David Nicholls has been fortunate in that all three of his horses have a decent berth. The pick of them could just be American Cousin, who has shown signs in his last two starts that he may be coming in to form and is now fully 18 lbs lower than when winning at York last year. Marginal preference, though, goes to Beyond The Clouds. He has struggled a bit this year, but is on a winning mark and now reverts back to his right trip, having won twice already over course and distance. He goes well for his apprentice jockey and can land the spoils from his good draw.
