In depth
Verdict
WAYFINDER (NAP) is 3-4 around here and was second in the other. Though raised a further 4lb, the hat-trick beckons for Rebecca Curtis’ stayer who goes well fresh. Truckin Away is 6lb lower than for his last win but has struggled to reproduce that form in the last couple of years. Reserve Tank has become hard to place and Jeremy Pass is still 2lb higher than when runner-up over course and distance a year ago despite having lost his way earlier this year. To Be Sure remains unexposed over fences so looks best of the rest.
