Verdict
This will not take much winning and the vote goes to the enigmatic Fletcher. Sarah Bosley knows him well and this looks his easiest task for a while. Welsh Dream comes here in good heart and looks certain to be involved in the finish, while Chaka Zulu, the winner of four races back in 2000, would also have a chance at his best.
