Verdict
Big Gossey won a similar race to this here last summer after finishing fourth in this and invariably goes well on the track, as does Blairmayne though the latter was beaten almost nine lengths behind Coumshingaun here last month. The latter is up 7lb and taking on better company as is Andreas Vesalius, another three-year-old but very progressive judging by his neck second at Naas. Yorkshire-based handler John Quinn enjoys his visits here and MR WAGYU (NAP) has the form and experience to land this lucrative handicap. He gained the 14th victory of his career at Epsom last month and followed with a close fourth in the Wokingham. No More Porter has run two cracking races over a mile while Dundalk winner Neo Soul has been staying on over the minimum trip on this track and is still on the upgrade.
