Verdict
With no guaranteed pacemaker here, this could turn into a bit of a sprint up the straight and a degree of caution is advised. SEVEN CLANS probably won't mins a messy pace and ticks plenty of boxes here. He looks the most likely winner. Angelical might go better here having shown up well in a similar event in May, and may be next best. Priors Brook has an impeccable record here but may find it coming to an end unless it dries out.
