Verdict
A wide open affair rounds off proceedings. New Options was a good second behind Muqtadi last time out. He will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour running off the same mark. Our Chelsea Blue won a claimer in good style last time out. However she will find this much tougher and she is running off a higher mark. Illusive was third behind Connect last time and if he reproduces that effort he would have definite place claims. The Best Yet is sure to strip fitter than when finishing in mid-division behind Sir Northerndancer. He goes well over course and distance and he could run well at a fair price. Coffee Time is sure to run her race again but she is still a maiden and will probably find one or two to good again. Of the remainder Cargo is well weighted on his best form but he has become disappointing of late.
