Verdict
Whitcliffe has yet to win but went close in a lower grade over track and trip last time and blinkers are applied. Witham River looks no nearer winning despite sliding down the weights while Liquid Metric is fitted with a tongue-tie having finished tailed off on his handicap debut. GOLDEN KEEPER will need to improve on his handicap bow but that looks a distinct possibility and he gets the vote in a tricky contest.
