Verdict
A race where few can be dismissed. Donagh O'Connor gets on well with Prisoner's Dilemma, who needs holding up so won't be inconvenienced by a wide draw. He's up 6lb for his second course and distance success last month but should get into the frame. Skontonovski was caught late on in that latter event and has a slight weight pull but AMPESON's hat-trick bid was foiled over a mile and though up another 3lb was only caught in the closing stages so can go in again. No Nay Alexander landed what looked a moderate maiden over 6f last month but an opening mark of 75 looks fair and with progress guaranteed has to be considered. Sister Lola looks a few pounds high though Paddy Harnett's claim is a bonus.
