Verdict
Willofcourse is given a narrow vote in a tricky contest, Viewforth and Contented could be the main rivals. Henry Candy's six-year-old is once again ridden by the promising Amy Scott, who has steered this one into places on his last three outings. They have a bit to find on Goodwood running with Contented, but that one had the better of the draw that day and it may be a different outcome this afternoon. Viewforth is very hard to win with but has been knocking on the door all season. He should again go close but one or two may prove too good. Of the others Riolo is not out of it on the pick of last season's form, but if everything drops right for Willofcourse he could end a frustrating spell.
