In depth
Verdict
Saxon Queen comes here in top form and although she has shot up the weights she still looks the one to be on with conditions in her favour. Jolly John in fairly consistent in this type of race and again he could run into a place. Brush the Ark should appreciate this longer trip and he could be worth a saver in case Saxon Queen does not stay. Super Rapier should also run his race.
