Verdict
Plenty of recent winners in this and Ballyfarsoon drops down a grade after making all at Aintree. MOIDORE is one of only two previous course winners in the line-up and his proven stamina should be an asset in this given a strong pace is pretty much guaranteed. Buck Bravo also stays further and is preferred to Ludlow scorer Diamond Rose but Royal Beekeeper tries a new trip and has become disappointing. Midnight Gem may be the pick of the remainder ahead of Indian Reel.
