Verdict
A huge field for a race of this nature and it looks wide-open. Serenity Now has been in good heart around Southwell but has no form on Turf. Automotive has also proved best on the all-weather but Stand To Reason seems comfortable on all surfaces and last month's Chelmsford second should be thereabouts. SANDY COVE has had a short break since his second to Moccasin on the Tapeta but the winner has franked the form of that race since at Wetherby and Louis Steward's mount is unlikely to be far away here having only been raised a pound. In Vino Veritas and Daring Indian may be the best of those nearer the foot of the handicap.
