        Verdict

        A wide open contest here with many in form rivals in opposition including Princes Theatre, Ruby Ledgend and Bond Millennium and we will take a chance on the last named. The gelding from the Bryan Smart yard was unlucky in running last time out and with the step up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Princes Theatre rates the main danger he has been in good form of late and will like the ground but he is not proven over the trip so for that reason is opposed on this occasion. Ruby Ledgend saves his best for this track but he was disappointing when well in at the weights at York earlier in the week and the handicapper may have caught up with him. Of the remainder Opening Ceremony and Basinet are from yards in form and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Bond Millennium.
