In depth
Verdict
A number of these would have have chances on the best of their novice form, including The Last Cast and Greenhope, but we'll take Lupin to beat Shemdani. The selection is lightly raced and hails from a stable with a great record at this track and would not have to be extraordinary to score. Shemdani won well at Ascot in February and can improve again. Remarkably, Gimmick beat Rigmarole earlier in the season but has been disappointing since. This brings us back to Lupin, who is lightly raced and hails from a stable with a great record at this track.
