Verdict
Soldier In Action has been running well though on quicker ground over shorter while stable companion Jaameh has looked a bit high in the weights since completing a double over this trip. Platitude won a Listed contest over the track and trip in October though that was on fast ground while stablemate Shraaoh has only won on Tapeta. Another from the Stoute camp, Mainstream, tackles the trip for the first time but hasn't been stopping and this could be his distance. It's a long way from East Yorkshire for SAIGON CITY to travel but he went to Newmarket in May and landed a handicap over this trip on soft ground so a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another big effort and he's handed the vote. Arch Villain was tailed off in this a year ago which wasn't his form as he scored over two miles at Ascot a few days later. He's won over the course and distance and goes well fresh so a long absence isn't a problem. My Reward beat Sir Chauvelin over two miles at Ripon before leading for a long way in the Northumberland Plate while Getback In Paris won here before finding Mount Moriah too strong at Ascot.
