Verdict
Tell Nothing beat Chaka Zulu to win a similar handicap over course and distance last month and is taken to do so again with Fifth Edition and Mr Fortywinks rated the main dangers. The selection holds Chaka Zulu on running here, even on the revised terms and doubts concerning the staying ability of his main rivals, he gets the vote to win again. Mr Fortywinks does have winning form over the distance but is better over shorter and he looks a better bet for the forecast than Fifth Edition, who seems plenty high enough in the weights at present. Carol Williams has been booked for the ride on Knockdoo, who has claims on his best but we prefer to stick with Tell Nothing, who has recent course and distance form and is still well treated on his old Irish form.
