Verdict
It's no surprise to see a handful of all-weather regulars line up in this. They include Tinshu, a leading contender bidding for a hat-trick of victories in this event. Lowther is another with claims though he has to reverse recent running over a mile here with both Marshgate Lane and Mia's Boy. True To Form has beaten Tinshu in a Listed contest over track and trip and is not easily dismissed and Viewpoint is yet another with the past form to get involved and is preferred to stablemate Rhamnus. A winner at Kempton last season, PROUD CHIEFTAIN returns to the Polytrack on the back of a close-up second in Listed company at Newmarket. A repeat would make him hard to beat and Clifford Lines' charge gets the vote.
