In depth
Verdict
This looks very much a two horse race between North Shore and Rustler with a confident vote going to the last named. Rustler had become a touch frustrating prior to his second at Newmarket last month and proved it was no fluke when running with credit when second behind Jack The Giant at Epsom last time out only going down by a head. He proved he can handle a similar track so if reproducing that level of form will take all the beating. North Shore has been running well of late without setting the world alight. He ran well enough around Lingfield when third of thirteen but looks fully exposed. Therefore this two horse race should go to Rustler.
