Verdict
Last years winner True Night will be a popular choice to follow up from his good draw, while Craiova is another to keep an aye on given his trainers fine record here, however, a chance is taken with Certain Justice, who won't mind the easier ground. Running on after getting outpaced going into the dip at Newamrket, this extended seven-furlongs looks ideal for Paul Cole's charge. True Night hasn't won since landing this event last year and as a consequence comes here well treated off a 2lbs lower mark than when successful last year. The well drawn Craiova comes here in good form, but more is needed off this career high mark. However, he is not to be underestimated. Recent course and distance winner Santisima Trinidad is closely matched with True Night and there should be little between them again. Both Banjo Bay and Into The Breeze have plenty to do from their wide draws, while Uhoomagoo is probably suited by a sound surface than he is likely to encounter here. So, in what is a competitive contest, Certain Justice is a hopeful choice.
