Verdict
Banningham Blaze, Salut Saint Cloud, and Final Dividend are three against the field in this competitive opener and the vote goes to Banningham Blaze. The selection won well last time out when defeating Lunar Lord and although this looks more competitive he has conditions again to suit and he will be hard to beat in his current form. Salut Saint Cloud rates there main danger he was a fair third behind Rolex Free last time and this looks easier but he is not the most reliable and for that reason he is opposed. Final Dividend is another drooping in grade and he has won over course and distance before, and a reproduction of his latest fifth behind Theatre Lady would give him definite place. Of the remainder Duke's View is from a yard that is beginning to hit form so it would be no surprise if he showed improved form but for the winner we return to Banningham Blaze.
