Verdict

Cinnamon Line gets the confident vote here with Even More and Ironside rating the main dangers. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Even More rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Wizard Of Edge but this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Ironside is another that will relish the ground but he has yet to prove he stays this far and is opposable on that basis. Durante is weighted to get to closer to the selection here but he is a weak finisher and for the winner we return to Cinnamon Line.
