Verdict
This looks the weaker of the two divisions and affords a decent opportunity for SUPER JULIUS (NAP) to go one better than when coming home in the silver medal position in what looked a better race at Pontefract earlier this week. The Irish raider set out to make all that day but was reeled in by Johnny Cavagin. However, he was comfortably clear of the rest and a similar performance would surely see him go very close. Ben Curtis is an excellent booking. The best form of Gold Stone sees him emerge as the prime danger and he remains on an acceptable mark, whilst Suwaan is a shortlist candidate if ready for this reappearance run as he's more consistent than most of these and has a good record at the track. Watch him in the market. Amazing Grazing is next best.
