In depth
Verdict
A wide open affair in which the market may prove the best guide but a chance is taken on Cumbrian Knight he has improved with each run in this sphere and his latest third behind Beyond The Pale at Sedgefield reads well enough. Lambrini Bianco rates the main danger he won a similar race to this at Bangor before finishing 15th at Aintree in there championship bumper he goes on the ground and should not be far away. Parsons Pride was third behind Be Fair on his debut at Worcester and Be Fair has won three times in this grade so that looks solid form. Supreme Piper is from a top yard and any market confidence would be significant. Flat Mate is also a well bred gelding from a yard in top form and he to could go well at a big price. Lots of the remainder look embryonic chasers on breeding.
