In depth
Verdict
Not an overly-competitive event with Moral Justice, who has solid form at this level, Politburo, who looks to hold River Amora on Plumpton form, and Uncle Teddy all worth considering. The bottom five are racing from out of the handicap while Stonehenge, who has dropped a long way in the ratings, will race in a visor for the first time.
