Verdict
This looks wide-open though recent winners Cuttin' Edge, Global Wonder and Rockesbury are all raised in class. Beepeecee and Sayesse were both beaten last time having won their penultimate starts but Executive Force and Duchess Of Avon were both placed on their respective latest outings with the former finishing third over track and trip. Yusra may improve now handicapping for the first time but GLORY OF PARIS (NAP) was beaten only a neck in a higher grade contest over course and distance a week ago and Mick Appleby’s charge is fancied to go one better today with a similar effort.
